NJ Author Comes to Warren Library
(Reprinted from Warren Macaroni Kid)

On July 16 at 6pm, NJ author Wendy Wyatt will be at the Warren Library to read her book, Please Don't Hurt Abby the Labby. Children ages 4-6 will learn how to care for a puppy and the importance of being kind to animals. Ms. Wyatt will answer questions, and her book will be available for purchase.
Wendy Wyatt is a member of the Dog Writers Association of America and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Children lap up her warm and spirited first book, Please Don't Hurt Abby the Labby, while becoming inspired to become enthusiastic partners in speaking up for all mistreated animals.
Ms. Wyatt is currently writing a second picture book, Uno: A Little Dog with a Big Heart, about a Best in Show winner who discovers show biz was exciting, but winning hearts as a therapy dog is much more satisfying than winning ribbons. She is also writing an upper middle grade novel, Mike Hutchinson and the Pups from PA, about a sarcastic and street-wise boy who moves to rural PA from Philadelphia and stumbles upon the deplorable puppy mill situation. He and his friends work to expose this business and rescue the pups, and Mike rescues himself as well.
Wyatt's desire to help a society or individual grow and change drives her choice of subject mater. She believes the best way to reach a solution is to reach the children, keeping in mind that most children learn best through a good story. Wyatt has also written articles about children and animals for various newspapers and magazines.
