2018 Christmas Gift Review & Giveaway - Reagandoodle & Little Buddy

I was recently invited to review a book which will initially pull at your heart-strings and then has the potential to challenge you to make a difference in the life of children who need to know they are lovable. Today, I'm very happy to let you know about the book and invite you to consider if you are a person who could foster a child from your community.

Harvest House Publishers says; "The moment Reagandoodle first set eyes on Little Buddy, he knew his world was about to change. What he didn't know, was they'd brighten hearts all over the world. Told with warmth and a touch of humor by Reagan himself, fans of Reagandoodle and Little Buddy hear the true story of how one adopted dog and an eleven-month-old foster child develop an unforgettable friendship. To all the fans of @Reagandoodle and Little Buddy . . . the book is finally here! An uplifting tail of friendship, foster care, adoption, and hope."

Let me start by saying, not all families are able to be foster families, but all of us are able to encourage, support and pray for those families we know who are foster families. But, for those of you who are, or who are feeling the tug to learn if you may be able to fill the gap for children in need of a safe and loving home,  Reagandoodle & Little Buddy is a story which you will identify with and which will tug at your heart. For those of us who are not foster families, this account will help us better understand those we know who are.

You will need a box of tissues handy to read this book - but definitely read it - for you and to the children you love. Reagandoodle & Little Buddy is all about love, compassion and giving to those who need to know they are lovable. This is a story to enjoy together.
