Description
Amidst a world that seems to grow more and more divisive, there is nothing like having a pet. A dog, cat or, yes, even a ferret, provides unconditional love, laughs and distraction. While taking on a pet requires patience, care and time, the return on investment is well worth it. While Chappie the ferret was a master thief and hoarder who tried my patience at every turn, he did what pets do best: to "weasel" into my life and remind me what is most important-to take the time to laugh and love and appreciate the little things (once you find them!). --Lauren Persons
"I love this story. I am like Chappie. I hide things to be 'funny.' Read it to me again!" --Jack Willard, age 4
"Chappie's Tale: The Real Story is a delightful read. It is a "real" tale of how frustrating critters and young children can be while stealing our hearts. Grab one of the young people in your life and read it together. I promise, you will both be chuckling." --Margaret Hill-Daniels, mom, grandmother and experienced child therapist
"It's a really good book. Chappie is funny, and he was just doing his job--stealing things!" --Avery Winchell, age 10, Syracuse NY

I have played many roles as an actor, playwright, newspaper columnist, mother, teacher, and best of all--grandmother. As a grandmother to two rambunctious grandsons, my love of storytelling has been honed. This latest story is most "deer" to me. Besides getting to take a long walk with Maxi and seeing her baby, I have had the privilege of working again with artist Noah Hrbek, and his talented daughter, Lydia Whitehouse. Best of all, in the middle of a pandemic and divisive politics, Maxi walked into my life. Her meeting , and the family who took her in as a baby, reminded me of the healing powers of nature and the incredible kindness and generosity of people.
