Alison Keenan’s Book was Featured at New York Library Association 2022 Annual Conference and Trade Show

“Piper Finds Her Special” by Alison Keenan tells why a dog is a unique pet. Publishing and marketing company ReadersMagnet featured the book at their exhibit booth for the New York Library Association 2022 Annual Conference on November 3 - 4, 2022. The premier two-day event occurred at Saratoga Springs City Center at 522 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.

As she recovers from a rare blood condition, Tennessee-based writer and Registered Nurse Alison Keenan considered “giving back” to life. A children’s book showcasing the marvels a therapy dog can perform was born from Alison’s idea. Piper completed the READing Paws® program.

“Piper Finds Her Special” offers a glimpse into the thoughts of a therapy dog as she learns what makes her unique while facilitating a reading program for kids. It is an accurate account of Team Keenan, a group that helps kids who struggle with reading. Piper and Alison assist kids in overcoming their fears and worries while reading through the power of unconditional love, which ultimately improves their reading comprehension and skills.

Alison Keenan’s book will enchant readers as a stand-alone book or as a catalyst for further study into therapy dogs and other animals. It is filled with love, empathy, and heart. The book is highly suggested for home, school, and public library collections and will quickly become a favorite read-aloud. It deserves a sweet spot in events like The New York Library Association (NYLA), which helps libraries in New York through education and inspiration.
