Life is full of ups and downs especially if you are a puppy in need of a name and in search of a home. Although it can sometimes be a scary world, Jack learns the importance of caring, sharing and friendship and that home really is where the heart is. With lots of love and the help of new friends Jack discovers that even a puppy has strength and talents and being himself is the best thing in the world. Often the real world has questions and situations that are more frightening than any movie. Who am I? Where do I belong? Who are my friends? Why do bad things happen to good people? are questions every child asks and sometimes are the most difficult to answer. Jack with The Curly Tail addresses these situations and more, in a thoughtful, non-threatening and charming way designed to foster comunication between parent and child. The story of Jack With the Curly Tail came as a response to the repeated request to tell me a story and an answer to the question why.
