To celebrate the any-day-now arrival of the White House puppy, and coinciding with National Poetry Month, award-winning journalist Harold Goldberg has written a whimsical story for children, White House Dog Tales: The Very Personal Rhyming Diary of the White House Dog and the Mystery in the Fountain.
First in a series of humorous and inspiring children’s books about DOTUS, the story is about a dog becomes known around the White House for his ability to find lost things. But the dog has an Achilles heel: he doesn’t like the water. When confronted with a life and death situation, the dog has to face fears.
The moral of the story? Everyone can face their fears and do things they didn’t think possible if they try. The poem is read by Donna Mei-Ling Park. The CD is available at CD Baby. Some of the money goes to charity, too, like the World Wildlife Fund and Save The Children. White House Dog Tales also has a blog.
Goldberg is an award-winning journalist who is a columnist for Boys’ Life and has written for Family Circle, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, Wired, The New York Times Book Review, VH1 and many others.
