Sassafrass Jones and the Search for a Forever Home, featuring vintage Steifftoy animals and miniatures, is an inspiring story about caring for animals in need that delivers the message 'nothing is impossible' when it comes to pursuing your dreams and making a difference in the lives of others.
Sassafrass Jonestells the story of two plucky outsiders who find each other and the courage to pursue their dreams. This magical story transports imaginations through a make-believe forest, where a perky Pekingese with a delicate eye condition, a lonely milliner mouse with her sights set on a fashionable future, live in the forest. After two long years spent at the “Last Chance Adoption Centre,” the adorable abandoned Sassafrass Jones, who is wearing chartreuse-framed cat eyeglasses, dreams of the day she finally gets adopted and finds what she calls her “forever home.” All Madeline the mouse dreams about, meanwhile, is owning her very own precious kitty to dress up in her latest “Haute Hats by Madeline of the Forest” designs.
All the answers await inside as readers are transformed into the magical world of Sassafrass Jones and the Search for a Forever Home, featuring more than 50 full-color pages of beautifully detailed photos of vintage Steiff animals and miniatures by photographer Tomas Espinoza, and sets created by Christopher J. McClellan.
All books include an audio edition narrated by B-52's front man Fred Schneider, also an animal activist.
