About this title

About the Author:

Author, Jo Ann Bennett-Boltinghouse adopted YolandaBaby through Greyhound Pets of America. The learning adventure with ner new family pet gave rise to utilizing her background to write this children's book. A self-esteem educator, her mission in life is to "help people be better at what they do, no matter what that may be." She is an educator, trainer, speaker, and grandmother, and resides in Iowa with her husband, Earl, and YolandaBaby. Illustrator, Jenniffer Julich found that bringing YolandaBaby from a sketch through to the final image was a labor of love. Owning two large dogs of her own, Jenniffer is perfectly matched with the author as illustrator for this book. Jnnffr (her pen name) is married with two children and lives beside historic second Welland Canal in St. Cathariens, Ontario.

Review:

"Like YolandaBaby, when people or animals are allowed to find their true purpose in life, they have the opportunity to succeed and be happy. Children identify with the greyhound and feel her fears and her successes. This is a great book to foster self-esteem in children." --Rory S. Goree', President Greyhound Pets of America, Phoenix, AZ
