Mr. Hoffman has created a blog in order to better
communicate with Lettie Brown families.
Announcements and upcoming events will be
posted there. Parents can sign up to receive
email notifications when the blog is updated. There is a
hyperlink on the Lettie Brown website to the blog, and the
web address is http://lettiebrown.blogspot.com.
The title is “Play at the Hospital” showing
that the hospital may seem scary but with
child life specialists and pet therapists their
perception could change.
The publisher is Hameray which is phase 3
of the whole Kaleidoscope Collection!
Mrs. Horner was honored at a convention
last month and a book signing. She also
enjoyed breakfast with author Joy Cowley.
