THUMBS UP! Elliot Finds A Home Paperback – September 10, 2020


Purchase options and add-ons

When an autistic child forms an exciting deep bond with a small dog who has thumbs on his paws, the two experience adventures together. They discover that their unique conditions impact them with surprising advantages as well as disadvantages. The book's central characters are Elliot, a "deformed" Shetland Sheepdog born with opposable thumbs on his front paws, and Joseph, a nine-year-old boy with a congenital level on the Autism Spectrum. The series is told entirely from Elliot's POV as he watches Joseph through his daily struggles, while capturing the parallels between Elliot and Joseph's respective conditions. Elliot cannot run or perform other “normal” canine tasks as readily as most dogs, but he excels at things that other dogs struggle to do. Joseph struggles with social skills, but his condition helps him to outperform the neurologically normal at other tasks. Autism is portrayed not as a defect to be overcome, but as a trait offering both advantages and disadvantages. Each of the show's episodes will follow Joseph and Elliot learning something valuable and new, as seen through the intelligent eyes of a sweet and lovable little dog. Thumbs UP! is a made for television series.

# Meet Patti - Your Friendly Neighborhood Storyteller 📚

Hey there! Let me introduce you to Patti, who's basically living the dream - writing stories all day in her pajamas while sipping chocolate milk and munching on cereal.

Patti's the creative force behind the upcoming animated TV series "ELLIOT FINDS A HOME," about a Sheltie with opposable thumbs and his boy with Autism. She's been incredibly lucky with her writing - she made the USA TODAY bestseller list and has hit #1 bestseller in seven different genres multiple times. With over 100 books in print, she writes Culinary Cozy mysteries, sweet Hallmark-y romance and Halloween themed stories.

Her life's been pretty wild too. She was on "Romper Room" at 4, hung out with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, met Bozo the Clown, shared a train sandwich with Sidney Poitier, high-fived President Nixon at the circus, went to school with David Copperfield, roller-skated with young John Travolta, and had cocoa with Abe Vigoda. Then there was Uncle Floyd - quite the character who always kept things interesting!

When Patti's not writing (still in those pajamas), she's enjoying retirement, being a grandma, watching Scooby Doo, and sharing her home with two little pups who are clearly plotting world domination. On particularly challenging writing days, she trades the chocolate milk for a glass or two of Chocovine.

As a Wiccan High Priestess and the "Queen of Halloween," she brews up spooky stories that readers can't get enough of.

So come hang out in Patti's world - where the stories are great, the pajamas are comfy, and there's always room for one more friend! 🐾
