Synopsis

Piper is an enormous Irish wolfhound who has equally large fears. He doesn't like to leave the house or even step down off of his chair. After one truly frightening experience, the gentle giant realizes that it's fear itself holding him back from having fun. With some reassurance from his family, he transforms into the brave dog he was born to be.

About this title

About the Author:

"It all began with children's books. I remember studying them, copying the illustrations, reading the stories aloud (while emulating various voices), and recording myself with my tape recorder. I always had a wild imagination, and I loved being able to escape inside a book and envision the world as I thought it could be-instead of what it actually was. My love of storytelling developed into visual tales through my artwork, and then eventually through song as I worked as a singer/songwriter. I think it was a natural progression that it all came back around to books. I hope my stories have messages that are remembered, illustrations that inspire, and characters that are loved for years to come!" Rebekah Phillips is a graduate of The Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, and has illustrated over eleven titles. She also does portraiture in acrylic and oils. www.rebekahphillips.com
