Greetings from Sparky
|
|
Welcome, young and old alike, to the "Sparky's Adventures" Web site, dedicated to the delightful children's books "Sparky's Walk," “No Rest for Sparky,” "Sparky Coast to Coast," and "Sparky's Big Race," as well as the star of the books, Sparky!! Many children, as well as adults, from coast to coast have found the Sparky Adventures to be charming stories, but Sparky herself is a great story. Rescued in the nick of time from a terrible fate (see Sparky's Story section), Sparky has gone from Death Row to Canine Celebrity through her starring role in the Sparky stories, as well as countless book readings at schools throughout the United States (see Author Visits section). But Sparky has not forgotten her pals back at the animal rescue agencies. Sparky helps out Adopt-A-Dog (the group that rescued her) by donating $1 from the sale of each book to the organization (see tally to the right), except when in Miami, Fla., New York City or San Francisco. In those cities, $1 from each book sale goes to Pet Rescue (Miami), the New York City Animal Care and Control Center or Animal Haven (New York City) or Pets Unlimited (San Francisco). And in addition to all the donations, Sparky has made many wonderful friends along the way.
