Cammie McGovern introduces her children's novel Chester and Gus
CAMMIE MCGOVERN will introduce her children’s novel, Chester and Gus on Tuesday, April 4 at 6:30 pm at books&co at The Greene, 4453 Walnut Street, Beavercreek.
Her book features Chester, a lovable dog who did not pass the service dog test, but still longs to be a service dog. Fortunately he’s adopted by a family who thinks he’ll be perfect as a companion for Gus, their autistic son. The story is told from Chester’s perspective as he tries to adjust to Gus’s needs, but he’s not sure how to help Gus since this isn’t exactly the job he trained for, but he’s determined to figure it out because Gus is his person now.
Reminiscent of Because of Winn-Dixie, Shiloh, and Old Yeller, Chester and Gus explores the extraordinary friendship between a child and a dog but with a poignant and modern twist.
Cammie McGovern is one of the founders of Whole Children, a resource center that runs after-school classes and programs for children with special needs.
4 Paws for Ability will be here to talk about their program to train dogs for autistic children.
