Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s New Book ‘The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home’ Is a heartwarming children’s story about a dog searching for a family of his own

Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s New Book ‘The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home’ Is a heartwarming children’s story about a dog searching for a family of his own

HUNTLEY, Ill. – September 29, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Anna Mitchell-Cannone, who was born and raised in the Midwest, has completed her most recent book “The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home”: an engaging children’s story that introduces Ash, whose future is up in the air. 

Desperate for a family of his own, Ash is stuck living a sad, lonely life as an outcast. Bravery, courage, and friendship are what he needs most right now. Will his circumstances change? Will he be stuck forever, scared and looking for love?

Author Anna Mitchell-Cannone and her husband, William, adopted their two dogs, Killian and Lycan, who became the inspiration for Duke and Ash. 

Anna is a speech pathologist who works mostly with the pediatric population. She loves to incorporate children’s books into her therapy sessions to facilitate literacy skills. After reading so many of them with her clients, she decided to write her own book. She wanted a story geared toward individuals who may feel they are not accepted as they are or who have joined new families. 

Author Anna Mitchell-Cannone writes, “A pack of older dogs came to check me out. They must have not liked what they found because they turned and walked away. When I asked to join their pack, the big dog growled, telling me to stay away.”

Published by Fulton Books, Anna Mitchell-Cannone’s book invites readers to discover whether Ash will finally gain a family. 

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “The Tales of Duke and Ash: Coming Home” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Author Emmalisa Horlacher’s new book ‘Henry’s Hope’ is a quirky and fun children’s book about the life-changing and formidable power of hopeRecent release “Henry’s Hope” from Covenant Books author Emmalisa Horlacher is about a little thought with a big imagination and an even bigger heart, called Hope. It’s a story about the power of hope in a very real way which starts with darkness but with the help of other thoughts and friends, Hope ends up changing.

PROVO, Utah – September 29, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Emmalisa Horlacher, a disciple of Jesus Christ who is a current student at Brigham Young University and grew up in West Valley City, Utah, has completed her new book, “Henry’s Hope”: a story that teaches kids about the power of hope.

Emmalisa states, “This book was written for those who need it; for those who feel alone, scared, empty, lonely, numb. The story itself covers heavy subjects, but there are unmistakably relatable pieces throughout the entire book. The goal is to bring more hope into this world and the one wish for this book is that it will reach the person who needs it, whoever that might be.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Emmalisa Horlacher’s new book is a story that will teach readers about the power of hope like no other children’s book ever has.

All the little thoughts in Henry’s mind couldn’t help him to feel better. He felt like something was missing and that something was Hope. When Henry finally feels Hope, something positive erupts, which eventually leads to a complete change within Henry’s mindscape. Readers will learn about the power of hope, a lesson for both young and old.

Readers can purchase “Henry’s Hope” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
