Donna-Leigh Perfect has said, "When I was a young girl I experienced trauma and I was separated from my siblings and put into foster homes"
"While attending one of the 13 foster homes I remember a kind foster mum who used to read stories to me in bed at night." "These stories took me on a journey for a short while. I will never forget those happy moments".
"This is why I have written this beautiful children's series "The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar" - to give the gift of a happy moment and some good old fashioned family values that can be shared by reading these stories with an adult and child."
"Rocky Rockstar is a special dog, the bond Jessie and Rocky Rockstar share is very unique. Rocky Rockstar teaches Jessie everyday life lessons of compassion and believing in herself. I wish you many happy moments sharing these stories with the special young people in your life too."
Donna-Leigh Perfect is an international speaker, author and children's entertainer.
These are stories about the adorable bond between her daughter Jessie and her rescue dog Rocky Rockstar and the lessons he teaches Jessie about kindness and compassion.
She loves reading (in an animated way) and entertaining with her Resilient Rockstar Show to kids of all ages.
Ideal for Book Week.
BOOK BIO
The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar
PUPPY RESCUE
Have you ever wished for something so bad you have
dreamed it into your life? Little 10-year-old Jessie has a tiny
button nose, friendly smile and cheeky sparkle in her eyes.
She loves being outdoors, exploring the beach where she
lives with her mum, stepdad and big brother.
Jessie dreams of having a puppy of her own to play and run
along the sand with. Just like the ones she watches from her
beach house. To Jessie that's all it will ever be...just a
dream...or will it come true.
The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar
TIGER
Rocky Rockstar is not your everyday dog. Imagine a dog that
looks like a tiger. Or maybe it's a tiger that looks like a dog.
This is how a boy describes little 10-year-old Jessie's dog.
Enjoying a beautiful sunny day playing together on the
beach, Jessie is faced with something very scary. With only
seconds to react, Jessie quickly learns there is something
very special about her "Tiger" dog Rocky Rockstar.
Donna-Leigh would love to visit your school, daycare or community event with an author reading and signing soon.
