About the Author:
Greetings! I'm Maryanne, a passionate canine enthusiast and former professional dog trainer. This dynamic duo, Randall and Hunter, beautifully illustrate the importance of adaptability through their gentle, determined nature and unique perspective on the world.
Through the dogs' journey of sniffing out new paths, making unexpected friends, and finding joy in unfamiliar situations, children learn that adaptability isn't just about surviving change—it's about growing stronger and more confident through each new experience.
This lesson resonates deeply with young readers who face their own daily changes, from starting school to making new friends, showing them that like their four-legged heroes, they too have the inner strength to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.
My Story:
Some time ago, I conceived an idea for a children's book inspired by my beloved Basset Hounds, Randall and Hunter. Although I believed in the concept, I initially hesitated to pursue it. In 2023, during a morning meditation session, I experienced a vivid impression of Randall, who had passed away in 2011, conveying a message: "Mom, it's time to write that book about Hunter and me. I'll be the gentler character, and Hunter agrees."
This experience reignited my motivation to bring the project to life. As I delved into the writing process, I realized that my experiences with Randall and Hunter were so rich and diverse that they could form the basis for an entire series of children's books centered around the theme of adaptability. The ability to embrace change without fear is a crucial life skill for everyone.
I'm thrilled to create an opportunity for children to explore important life lessons through the endearing exploits of my furry friends.
