ONE FOR THE BOOKS
One should never be surprised by talented people; and yet, it still happens. Joe Tavano, or "Joey T." as I know him, continues to come up with little unexpected developments. The multiple Emmy Award nominee--and I believe he's won a few--is having a book published this June. It's a children's book called A Dachsund's Wish and illustrated by Ji Yu. Some early capsules from Amazon.com:
"If you have a dachshund, read this book. You’ll love it. If not, read it anyway...a really good book." —Philip Gonzalez, coauthor, The Dog Who Rescues Cats: The True Story of Ginny"Joe Tavano has succeeded in the impossible: getting inside the mischievous and madcap mind of a puppy dachshund." —Michael Crewdson, author, Carnivorous Nights: On the Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger
"Kids will find this story irresistible while they learn valuable lifelong lessons...A must-read for elementary students." —Mary Wanzer, elementary school teacher, S.U.N.Y. adjunct professor
"Exudes a warm, loving feeling...[and] encourages self-acceptance, understanding, and tolerance of others." —Adrian Milton, The Dachshund Friendship Club
"The oldest and most satisfactory message in the world: It's good to be who you are." —Eva Ibbotson, author, Which Witch?
Wow, who knew there was such a thing as The Dachsund Friendship Club? Must be good work if you can get it. The DFC is actually going to be holding a Spring Fiesta in Washington Square Park on April 29th this year at noon, where they will be singing "The Dachs Song". You know what? I'm going. That is going to be awesome!
