Monica McGuire is a dog mom and first-time children's book author inspired by her beloved French bulldog, Louie. After Louie became paralyzed, Monica was moved by his resilience, joy, and unwavering spirit, sparking the idea for her first book. She hopes Louie's story will inspire children and families to embrace challenges with love, courage, and compassion. Claire Conway is an art & psychology teacher who loves to create.
