Meet Uptown Children's Book Author Savy Leiser At Launch Party for Just Me, Wrigley on Saturday

The Furever Home Friends, an award-winning children’s book series by Uptown author Savy Leiser, will be releasing its newest book on Saturday, August 11, 2018. To celebrate this new book, The Furever Home Friends will be holding a launch party at Portage Park store Replica Chicago, 4425 N Milwaukee Avenue.

The Furever Home Friends is a series of kids’ books and stuffed animals based on the stories of real rescue dogs. Each book addresses multiple social issues and includes discussion questions for kids, parents, and teachers. Additionally, 10% of all profits benefit no-kill animal shelters in Chicago.

The launch party will celebrate the release of Just Me, Wrigley, the third book in the series:

Wrigley loves to dance. She can shake her tail all over the animal shelter. But for some people, Wrigley’s rhythm isn’t enough. Wrigley is a mutt; she doesn’t know what breed she is. While others come to the shelter looking for schnauzers, labs, and Dalmatians, Wrigley wonders when it will be her turn. Can Wrigley find the confidence to stay true to herself and dance her way into a forever home?

The launch party will run from noon until 3pm on August 11. The party is free to attend, and children are welcome, but we ask that you do not bring your dogs. The party will include a reading of Just Me, Wrigley, a Q&A with the author, and a book signing.

Limited Wrigley T-shirts will be available to the first 20 guests for $24.99 ($19.99 for children). Guests can also enjoy free paw-print-shaped chocolate pops, while supplies last.
