REVIEWS

First let me say that I am Skye's mom, so I may be a little biased. It was amazing to work with both the author and illustrator. Marian was able to turn Skye's online blog into a fun and heartwarming children's story. Marc's drawings capture perfectly Skye's spirit. The end result is an amazing book full of compassion. She is learning with my guidance to be a dog in her new forever home in California. Inspired by Skye's diary, our friend Marian Hailey-Moss wrote a whimsical diary of the journey from trauma to trust of Skye. For ages 7-11 or everyone who loves a fun, heartwarming read with a happy ending.

Cutest adult/childrens book to encourage going veg. I wanted to encourage some coworkers to eat more plant based and I thought this was a gentle nudge in the direction to connect that all animals are sentinel beings. It’s the perfect book, it’s beautifully written and illustrated and gives just the right amount of information to give without overwhelming people.
~ Kim Murphy, Amazon review

This book should be in every library! This is a lovely, heartwarming, and inspiring book - based on a true story! - which should be in every library and home with young children. It teaches about the importance of compassion, and how love can transform the life of those who have suffered deeply. The illustrations are beautiful and bright and really bring the main characters to life. Skye is one lucky dog to have found her rescuers in Isabelle and Peter. I can't recommend this book highly enough!
~ Mohan, Amazon reviewer

Absolutely beautiful. A charming, sweet true story of the importance of kindness and compassion to animals. Thank you for bringing awareness of the plight of farmed animals and the necessity of a plant based diet. I teared up a bit at a few bittersweet moments of Skye learning to love and trust and just be a dog. This is a great book to share with children and adults alike.

Loved this book! I read the book online, but knew I had to have a hard copy. Not too many books about dogs that have emerged from the dog meat trade alive, and if any, none that tell the story in such a wonderful way that comes across as being enjoyable, happy, and cute. The artwork is just as amazing as the story. So glad you have your life, Skye!
~ David Wyttenbach, Amazon review

Charming book for kids and adults. The story of how Isabelle rescued Skye and developed a trusting bond is both heartwarming and instructive for how we all can be more kind to animals. The charming illustrations and narrative are delightful. This one is destined to become a classic for inspiring and uplifting all readers about our relationship with animals.

Rescued!! A very touching true story from my dear friend, Isabelle. Rescued from a terrible industry, Skye is now safe and happy! Very insoiring and educational for all ages!
~ Todd Smith, Amazon review

Heartwarming story about rescue dog. In this incredible book, author Marian Hailey- Moss takes us on a journey with a rescue dog Skye. From the perspective of Skye, we learn about life before Skye was rescued and how the change transformed the pup. It is not easy to trust again after a traumatic experience, and dogs, just like humans, need to build trust. This heartwarming story showcases the bravery of animal activist Isabelle and her unconditional love for animals. It also teaches the reader to be patient with animals and to love all animals. The colorful, playful illustrations fulfill the story and add extra feeling to this tale. Marian's books can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, I was a Broadway actress - doing supporting roles in “Harvey” with Helen Hayes and Jimmy Stewart, “Company” and “the Women.” In the 60's and early 70's. And Brenda in the movie “Lovers and Other Strangers.” Now I'm creating stories about our animal friends. I live and write with three rescued kitties on the Upper West Side in New York City. I write children's books. They're about animals with a hint of green. My hope is that while having fun reading and coloring, animals are seen as precious friends and will find a forever sweet home in children’s hearts. Our planet depends on us. Visit her website.
