'The Gift' is an engaging Christmas coloring storybook that teaches children the many ways of giving kindness in their communities. Written and illustrated by Patricia Sutherland, a mother, grandmother, and retired public school administrator. Patti understands the importance of entertaining while educating.
'The Gift' is a charming story that tells the tale of a Newfoundland dog family that teaches children what the holiday season's spirit is truly all about and that joy comes through the giving.
The Newfoundland, often called the 'Gentle Giant, ' is a working breed well known for their ability to save people through water rescue, and they are most successful in showing love and gentleness as therapy dogs.
'The Gift' is edited by two remarkable people; Jeanette Cothern is a graduate of a therapy dog program, The Hudson Ambassadors, which Patti created. She is a therapy dog handler herself: Patti's eight-year-old grandson, William. William became Patti's Junior Editor when he took note of changes that he felt would make the story more appealing to it's critical, younger audience. William enjoys writing adventure stories, and we have no doubt he'll be published himself shortly.
During Patti's public school system career, Patti and her Newfoundland Hudson created a first of its kind, highly successful pet therapy program for at-risk students. Upon completing her forty-year career in public school administration, she continued to work training Newfoundland dogs in obedience, water rescue, draft, and therapy work.
She Co-Founded TimberKnoll's Spirit Cove, a Newfoundland pet therapy program, and she helped her former students become therapy handlers themselves so that they could pay forward the unique gift of pet therapy work.
'TimberKnolls Spirit Cove' is establishing a therapy dog ranch in North Carolina that will provide day programs for veterans, first responders, people fighting a serious illness, and the medical staff who care for them. It will also become a national training center for therapy dog handlers and their Newfies.
Royalties from this book support TimberKnolls Spirit Cove, which is a Non-Profit 501c3 organization.
