BOO LOVES BOOKS
AN ANXIOUS GIRL, A RESCUE DOG, BOOKS AND NEW BEGINNINGS.
Kaye Baillie
Synopsis
Phoebe is not a confident reader and avoids it whenever she can. When her teacher, Miss Spinelli, organises a trip to the local animal rescue shelter, Phoebe is asked to read aloud to a dog, Big Boo. As if reading wasn’t hard enough already! After a scary start for Phoebe and the dog, she not only learns empathy but gains confidence and finds joy in her reading as well.

From the Author
As a children’s author, I’m always looking for inspirational true stories to write about. Boo Loves Books is based on a news article about a Book Buddies program where primary school students read to homeless cats at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Pennsylvania. What captured my attention was the transformation of a boy who took part in the program.
Kaye lives in a coastal town in Australia and loves picture books, funny and heartfelt stories and writing. She also loves baking, watching birds flying overhead and walking on the beach.
After earning her Diploma in Professional Writing and Editing, Kaye followed her passion for picture books and storytelling and is a full-time children’s author.
She has a passion for telling stories about remarkable people. 'Boo Loves Books' is based on a true story which captured Kaye's heart.
