Teachers, Buddy would love to come meet your class!

Award Winning author Suzanna Lynn hosts an upbeat, fun, and engaging reading of her book “You Are Special,” followed by a discussion about the moral of the story.

“Buddy the Blue Corgi” is more than just a set of fun-to-read picture books. The series reinforces the importance of:

Patience
Acceptance
Friendship
Christian Values
and Loving Yourself​
