Casey & Dilyn's London Christmas Jane Sarah Staffier

Happy Christmas tale in verse with colorful illustrations starts on Christmas Eve when PET QUESTIONS TIME'S radio talk show host, Casey the Beacon Hill Cat (USA), takes a call from Dilyn in a Wales (UK) puppy shelter. "... It's getting dark, I'm all alone, doesn't anyone want me?" The story gets rolling when Casey falls into a postal bin while trying to mail Dilyn's card, finds herself on an unexpected journey and faces even more adventure upon arrival, "...car came, took Dilyn away!"In December, 2019, when I read the real-life story of Dilyn's journey from a Wales puppy shelter to 10 Downing Street, it was a true inspiration, perfect for Christmas and worth re-telling. I threaded America and England's longstanding alliance with Casey and Dilyn's fairytale friendship. Casey & Dilyn's London Christmas will delight children and adults with its themes of courage and kindness wrapped up in a holiday happy ending. The entire poem in rhyming verse is printed at the end of the book. Original, full-color illustrations enhance each page by author and illustrator, Jane Sarah Staffier. Available in paperback and as an e-book.
