"Don't Eat Bees!" - Original Story & Illustrations | #1 Hot New Release on Amazon
Valentine the Chihuahua really existed as the author's dog, one of two siblings. Valley born with two black hearts on her back. After her sister died (as featured in Tea Party Wednesday), Allie arrived as a rescue from the alley behind our bookstore. Orphaned.
She rode on Valentine's back, ate with her, slid down her head into the water dish. They were inseparable until Valentine's death.
VALENTINE'S ADVENTURES began as a seven-day watercolor series—over 225 original paintings, most taking 8-20 hours. The exhibit sold out worldwide and was featured on local news.
