Corporate Leader Answers Calling to Write Children’s Book with a Deep Message
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 10, 2016 -- Inspired from a real-life, four-legged family member, Kristi Forbes has managed to capture the essence of her personal pet-adoption experience into a book that connects with children and animal lovers alike. The book promises to warm the hearts of those young and old this holiday season.
Titled "Jetta Dog finds a Home for Christmas," the story is about a multi-breed citizen of nowhere. Jetta Dog finds a home in our hearts as she searches for a loving family. She’s scrappy, enthusiastic, and friendly, though she’s slightly nervous and shy about new surroundings.
While this children’s book is targeted for readers aged 3-8, its subtle messages about volunteering, the goodness of animal shelters, the importance of loving homes, family, and relationships are relevant for readers of all ages. This book also broaches the subjects of adaptability and appreciating the goodness of others, especially those who are different from you.
Jetta and all of the characters in the book are real animals from the Carteret County Humane Society, who all found loving homes!

"Jetta Dog finds a Home for Christmas" has received heartfelt reader reviews:
• “This is an excellent teaching book that shows young ones the value of never giving up and being yourself. I love the "feel good" ending and the illustrations are captivating. I'm making this a traditional "read every Christmas" book for the family. Looking forward to more adventures from Jetta!”
• “A perfect read for anyone who loves animals! This is a heartwarming story and the message will make you laugh and cry. Great for kids of all ages and adults too. If you have ever rescued an animal then you should definitely read this book. I loved every page and the illustrations are fantastic.”

“Nothing about this book has been forced. The story found me at a time when I needed it most; I want to spend the rest of my life making a difference in children’s and animal’s lives; life really is all about giving back.” – Kristi Forbes
