Description

A note from Dennis

I created Buddy’s Magic Window straight from the heart. I truly wanted to create a beautiful, sort of Coffee Table children’s picture book, that just made people smile. That is what I truly care about.  I also wanted to create a story built around the theme “I BELIEVE” and have it become a timeless classic that readers would want to pass on for generations.  Those were my driving forces while creating the book.

I  set the story up as a journey on which Buddy would acquire wisdom as he traveled along the trail. It was so much fun having the animals interacting with Buddy and subtly dropping little pearls of wisdom.  Little life lessons like kindness, friendship, adventure, and bravery are gently woven into the story.

I love that readers are enjoying the REAL photos. It makes it more of a unique book that kids, parents, and grandparents are loving.

My hope is to bring smiles to the world through my photos and storytelling.

    The books were beautiful. When I purchased them I had in mind an 8 and 9 year old. After reading the book I feel it is more suited to a 3 to 4 year old. I’m not sure. Don’t want to indult the older children. Perhaps you should include an age range with your books.

    Buddy’s Magic Window is a book filled with magic. It is a beautiful story of a puppy named Buddy trying to find his way home and all of the animals he encounters on his quest. The story is sweet and what makes it extra special are the beautiful photographs included in the book. Oftentimes children’s books have illustrations; this book has actual wildlife photographs taken by the author, Dennis Glennon, himself. This book would be a treasure for any child (or adult).
