There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. I was so inspired to write this book because of my son's relationship with his dog. Everyday, his dog was just so happy to see him. Whenever Alan came home, he would just be running everywhere like crazy. As soon as my son's grandmother would pick Alan up from school, the dog would be in the car and the dog would just be running back and forth in the car excited to see my son. Seeing that amount of love between a boy and his dog is priceless. Enjoy Alan the Play Kid Gets a Dog. To connect with Lissa Lee, email her at: lissalee2222@gmail.com.

Surprisingly, securing a spot is easier than kneading dough, but when the plan to fix everything comes out burned, Luca is left scrambling to figure out just the right recipe to bring his family and his friends back together"--
