About the author

Patrick McDonnell’s beloved comic strip, MUTTS, has appeared in over 700 newspapers across 20 countries for over 25 years. MUTTS has received numerous awards both for its artistic excellence and for its animal and environmental protection themes. Charles Schulz called it “One of the best comics strips of all time.”
Heart To Heart: A Conversation on Love and Hope for Our Precious Planet, a collaboration with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, was released on January 24, 2023. His Holiness has said “It is my hope that this book will open the eyes, minds and hearts of all people.” Further details about the book can be found at mutts.com/hearttoheart
McDonnell is also the author of New York Times bestselling picture books, including The Gift of Nothing and the Caldecott Honor winning Me...Jane (a childhood biography of Jane Goodall). Both have been adapted as musicals for the Kennedy Center stage. He has also collaborated with spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle on Guardians of Being and with Rumi translator-poet Daniel Ladinsky on Darling I Love You.
McDonnell was a member of the Board of Directors of The Humane Society of the United States for 18 years and currently serves on the boards of The Fund for Animals, The Charles M. Schulz Museum and D&R Greenway Land Trust.

On occasion a perfect gift idea does pop up. There is a gentleman, that I will refer to as Mr. Bob, who worked at the garden center here in town. For the 17 years I had known him since first going to the garden center when we moved here, he has been a rich resource for information, always greeted you with a warm smile,and remembered your name. He consoled me when my beloved step-father passed. Both Mr. Bob and my step-dad were avid birders and belonged to the Audubon Society for many years. He helped me choose the perfect tree to plant in memory of my step-dad. Last year I discovered that Mr. Bob was retiring. I called the Audubon Society to donate $50.00 in Mr. Bob's name as a retirement gift. The person at the society had a better idea of what to do with that money. Retirement usually means a drop in salary. This person put the $50.00 toward extending Mr. Bob's Audubon membership for another three years. What a wonderful idea!

However, the condition of the book wasn't great. I knew it was second hand but expected a little better from the description.



As to date only my 13 year old grandson has decided what he would like his one day with grandma to be. The Walk on the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario. We checked the internet and he is old enough and just requires his parent's permission.
I explained to all of them that our lives are just so busy and as they grow older we need one day set aside just for a one-on-one.
It will be interesting to see what the others choose to do. I know my one sister stated that she would likely want one day set aside to teach her the computer????? Time will tell but 2014 will be an interesting year just to find out where everyone will guide me.
