Overview
"Children everywhere can relate to Piper's longing for a real furry friend. Despite her eagerness to prove she is ready for a pet, Piper's parents continue to say ""no."" Frustration mounts until several unexpected and somewhat icky (according to her parents) house guests give Piper a much-needed distraction. Embodying the values her parents instilled in her, Piper goes above and beyond for these visitors and even rescues a few creatures from outside. In a funny twist, the wacky events of the week, including a stunning transformation of her bedroom, lead Piper and her parents back to what she desires the most. Piper learns lessons about kindness, perseverance, creativity, and passion and that, sometimes, an unexpected path leads us to exactly what we want. So who visits, how does she care for them, and who does she meet in the end? Download the e-book, or grab your printed copy to find out!"

Reviews
"Kirkus Reviews (Verdict: ""Get It"") (January 2024): A funny, creepy-crawly story about determination and inclusivity. (...) Peres' full-page, full-color cartoon illustrations are bright and feel larger than life. Preschoolers who have been asking their own parents for pets will giggle at the lengths to which optimistic Piper will go, seemingly unaware the mess she's creating. Cino provides a picture book that's simultaneously relatable and over the top."
Author Information
"Hello from sunny California! I'm Cortney, a picture book author and founder of Whimspire Books, LLC. (whimspirebooks.com). My inspiration for writing primarily comes from the three little blonde muses who call me ""Mom."" They entertain me daily with their banter and boundless imagination. Most days, I navigate the world of life sciences marketing. Most nights, I embark on whimsical journeys through storytelling. I craft picture books that hopefully spark wonder in young minds, and it is SO MUCH FUN. Beyond my picture books, you might have stumbled upon my words in Huffpost or various marketing articles. When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me running on California's scenic trails, exploring new places with my family, or simply pausing for precious moments with my daughters and husband. I would be honored if you select The Lights That Stay or Piper's Pet Pursuit to read to your loved ones. If you enjoy it, I would be grateful if you would write a review. Thanks so much for stopping by this page!"
