Twitch’s New Neighbour
Available in paperback

Twitch, the dog who loves carrots, is back! In Twitch’s New Neighbour, your favourite Shih Tzu makes a new friend. But their playtime turns messy and is soon bath time for Twitch.

Twitch’s new neighbour is a children’s picture book intended for boys and girls of five to seven years of age who are just beginning to read. It teaches that actions have consequences, but that good behaviour brings rewards. It also presents a loving relationship between a parent (the dog’s owner) and a child (represented in this case by the dog), and friendly relationships between neighbours, where differences are settled by conversation and compromise.

The story of Twitch is based on the author’s own dog, whose name is also Twitch. Twitch is a Shih Tzu who loves fresh fruits and vegetables. But his favourite treat is a chunk of raw carrots, preferably organic.
