Breaking News: The Spanish translation of Denna's Dream is completed! Thank you to Sonia Caballero, of Buenos Aires Argentina, for helping me to make sure the spanish version is true to the original. It is available now in kindle form, but I will be printing the spanish pages as an addendum to insert as needed at the center! In some ways the digital version is better than the first, with more illustrations & puzzles, so I hope you will check it out:

Delivered! 6 boxes of Denna's Dream books, with sticker pages inserted, delivered on Friday! Everyone was there; Denna (title character clever fox), Paul (the painter toucan), Tyrone (builder dragonfly), ( Diane (pufferfish), & all the current working heroes at the Advocacy Center. What an honor to be with them even for just a day! Thank you truly to everyone who donated to make this project a success. Every child receiving a copy at the CAC will recognize the beautiful ocean painted by Paul & Diane, along with the tree in the medical room as it is mentioned in the story. The coloring pages match the mural - which is so amazing I was so glad we could get our group photos in front of it! Thank you, all.

UPDATE: These are the proof pages for the book I just approved as a final step to go to print!
The 10 inch square size is pleasant to hold and the font is large for reading, it is going to be great!!
The next update will be the sticker sheets, and then.... delivery of the actual books in 4 -6 weeks!
We will have a book signing (hopefully with the real Denna!) details TBD. Since we were able to order so many, this event will have the extra copies for purchase as a fundraiser for the Advocacy Center. Entirely non-profit effort for the Center to be able to give free copies to the children. Thank you All

This is Denna, the title character of the children's book 'Denna's Dream'. She is based on the real-life former director of the CAC of Butler County, Denna Hays. Like the real Denna, this fox is creatively purposeful, and cleverly resourceful.
The book, once printed, will be given to the children at the CAC of Butler County.
