Delightfully Illustrated New Story from a Dog's Point of View Teaches Children All About Families

Growing up with Flazabell by Ira Glen Loring shows children that families come in many different forms.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 5, 2008 -- Growing up with Flazabell, a new book by Ira Glen Loring, is an enchanting and educational children's picture book about the importance of home. Magically illustrated, the book gives children a dog's-eye-view (and a gentle understanding) of homelessness, growing up, and family.

Families today come in many different shapes and sizes. Children need to understand that whether a family is two or single parent, love knows no boundaries and happiness can be everyone's birthright. Award-winning artist and poet Ira Glen Loring has crafted a gorgeously illustrated and warmly told story about a very real family of dogs.

Children will love the tale of Flazabell the dog and how she came to find happiness and a family, despite the problems of homelessness. Sensitively written with playful illustrations, Growing up with Flazabell is sure to be a favorite in any child's home library.
