Local Author, Dora Simpson, will be here to share her books with you! Her most recent book is about a pup named Hopper.

Searching for Hopper Pawprints in Snow brings to life the true story of Hopper, a young Golden Retriever whose winter adventure turns into a community mission. When Hopper disappears during the darkest day of the year, his owner faces every pet parent's worst fear. But as paw prints are discovered and doorbell cameras capture glimpses of gold fur, hope begins to shine through the winter darkness.

Dora J. Simpson transforms her own experience of a missing pet into a heartfelt journey that celebrates the extraordinary lengths we go to for those we love—and the unexpected connections formed along the way. With gentle watercolor illustrations that capture both the winter chill and the warmth of community, this book reminds us that sometimes it takes a village to bring one beloved family member home.

Dora Simpson turns her everyday adventures with her beloved Golden Retrievers into magical children's books that kids can't put down. From "The Lonely Little Mosquito" to "Searching for Hopper: Pawprints in Snow" (based on her own dog going missing), her stories teach gentle lessons while keeping readers thoroughly entertained.

A factory worker by day and devoted dog mom 24/7, Dora finds story gold in ordinary moments—whether watching her pup leap away from Halloween decorations or thinking about unlikely friendships during late-night walks.
