Lucy and the Dog Bunch

By Beau Anderson, Illustrated by Maggie Callahan Lucy and the Dog Bunch is a series of stories that are the creation of Beau Anderson, a current third grader who moved to the lovely town of Newington, New Hampshire from out of state. This first story is a sweet one of new friendship and acceptance that is analogous to Beau and his family's experience of becoming a part of this very special community. The story of Lucy and her new friends' picnic adventure was conceived of by Beau (with writing and editing help from his mom) and illustrated by fellow Newington resident and talented artist and high school student Maggie Callahan. This is Maggie and Beau's first collaboration. Beau and Maggie are both animal lovers, and a portion of proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NHSPCA), located in nearby Stratham.
