Granny Glitter’s: Christmas Story
Here’s another great holiday gift idea for those kiddos who love to read or be read too. In this story Granny Glitter saves a puppy from being put to sleep. She actually has saved several pets. I’m an animal lover at heart, and I love the message this book brings during the Christmas season!
Granny Glitter is concerned. Christmas is almost here and she has not finished her shopping. So off she goes, with Venus, her Doberman, to the pet shop.
While shopping she spies an attendant carrying an unhappy little chow chow puppy. The man is about to put the puppy to sleep because he is going blind. After a spirited altercation, Granny and Venus leave the shop owning a new chow chow puppy.
Granny Glitter immediately takes koko, the new puppy, to her favorite veterinarians who help her treat his eye condition.
Koko loves his new home and Grannie’s other pets. All goes well except for a very mischievous cat from the house next door. But all gets resolved and they all have the merriest Christmas ever.
There’s no place like home for the howl-idays
Author and dog lover Andree Siracusa emphasizes the reason for the season in new children’s book
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 03, 2015 – Christmas is not so much about opening presents as it is opening our hearts.
In “Granny Glitter’s Christmas Story,” artist and graphic designer Andree Siracusa (aka Granny Glitter) tells the true story of her dog Koko, a blind Chow Chow puppy she saved from euthanization at a pet store during a round of Christmas shopping for her other pets.
After his rescue, Koko adjusts to his new home he shares with Venus the Doberman, Twinkie the Pomeranian, Marker the parrot, and the neighbor’s cat, Scratch. After some tender loving care and some eye drops, Koko soon receives the best Christmas present of all — his eyesight.
Through her heart-warming story, Siracusa hopes to teach children and their parents the importance of giving all pets a chance, as well as emphasize the Christmas spirit of giving.
“We, as humans, can learn from the unconditional love we receive from animals,” Siracusa said. “It’s important that we give that unselfish love in return.”
Even though they cannot speak our language, or perhaps it is that we cannot speak in theirs, the true meaning of Christmas and unconditional love can be found within our pets.
