Constance Lewis-Larsen introduces ‘Paddlefoot’
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Constance Lewis-Larsen debuts as a published author with the release of the children’s book “Paddlefoot” (published by Xlibris). Her two children inspired her to pen the book, and it is her goal to spread love and to encourage people to love one another.
This is the story of a little white dog named Paddlefoot, who appears to have his front feet on backward. He has the ability to talk; however, the only people who can hear him are those that feel true love in their hearts and believe in the magic of that love. This book tells the tale of how the little dog saves a child and changes the hearts as well as the lives of that young man as well as his mother.
As readers flip through the pages of the book, they can feast their eyes with the colorful illustrations that highlight the heartwarming story about the magic of love.
