Every school visit for SPARK when the favorite character is the dog: :

Kids:
-Dis you have a dog named Thorn?
-β€œI have a dog…” not a question, but still.
-What kind of Dog is Thorn?
-Is Thorn part wolf?
-Is THORN going to have his own book?

If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.

Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!
