Pockets' Magic Pocket

The first in a series of amazing (and almost true!) stories of a girl named Clara and her little black dog, Pockets. Each page is filled with large, brightly-colored original illustrations taken from watercolors painted by the author. The "Pockets" books help teach children some small lessons about life: being happy, laughing, sharing, playing with others, and being a friend. In this adventure, Clara loses her happiness and it's up to Pockets to help her find it again.

Suzanne Crolley, the author and illustrator of the "Pockets" books, is a native of Lexington, Kentucky. She has enjoyed a long and successful career as a commercial artist; spending many wonderful years in Tulsa Oklahoma, then the Missouri Ozarks, and now at last making her home in the beautiful mountains of the Blue Ridge. The "Pockets" books are drawn from Suzanne's real-life, everyday experiences with her animals and their friends, each of whom she loves dearly. Today she lives with her husband, her two dogs, her three cats, and Beaker the Bird in their happy home in Brevard, North Carolina.
