Behind the Tale…

it never occurred to Dave to write a children’s book until Lambert came into his life.

When he saw all that fluff rippling in the breeze and sprawling and waving wildly, it was like a big fuzzy paw came down from the sky, put a pen in Dave’s hand, and said: “write about that fluff! Celebrate that crazy rock-star hair!”

Then Dolly joined the family,

and Dave saw how Lambert’s easy-going personality brought the shy and anxious Dolly out of her shell, and Fuzzzy Tale was born. 

And the rest is history
