Pinky Kasey J Claytor

The small, pink, stuffed dog, Pinky wanted nothing more than to be the best loved of all the stuffed animals sweet Francesca had. In this endearing story Pinky learns just how important his love is. From Francesca's dream to Pinky's big award, this little book will steal your heart. The background: A real story! When the author of this beautiful story was 5 years old and very sick, her grandmother brought over a pink, furry, stuffed puppy. She loved it right away, and gave it an elaborate, long name, Pinky Jr. Sammy Christmas Jingle Bells Kris Roy . Then she had a vivid, intricate dream about the toy. In it, Pinky and all her other stuffed animals traveled way out into the country at midnight, while she was asleep. They arrived at a big barn where all the other stuffed animals had come for an awards ceremony just for them! She watched in her dream as Pinky won the most prestigious award for being the most loved stuffed puppy! The toys in charge of the ceremony sewed the award inside of his underbelly. When Kasey awoke, she felt the dog, believing it just might be true!That memory never left her, and she always kept this little stuffed dog with her. She was finally prompted to write the story when, a few weeks ago, it was apparent his old stuffing needed to be replaced! This, of course, brought that memory back as she was working on the old dog, and now she has written it down, (to the joy of Pinky!) Who's to say our sweet stuffed animals aren't real beings? Who's to say they aren't infused with the same God force that enlivens us?
