Pownal Street Press to publish a new children’s picture book written by Elizabeth Retter and illustrated by Izzy Bean.
Homeward Bound is the second book in the “The Adventures of Easton the Rescue Pet” series and is the follow up book to the debut title, Dog in the Deli, which was released in 2023.
This heartwarming tale isn’t just fiction, it’s based on the author’s personal experience. Easton is a rescue dog born in Pennsylvania, and was adopted by the author, Elizabeth, and her family in Toronto, Canada. This new story follows Easton on his adventures as he travels to meet his new family and settles into his new home. The book stresses the importance of adopting rescue pets, and will be a fabulous read aloud for dog lovers — and their companion children — to enjoy.
