Animals Welcome
A Life of Reading, Writing and Rescue
A moving memoir from an award-winning author
A mother cat and her kittens, shot with a pellet gun. A poacher illegally stalking a bear. Peg Kehret tells these true stories and more as she invites readers into her life on a small wildlife sanctuary.
Vividly showing the joys of animal rescue while providing facts about the animals and birds she encounters, Kehret also shares the tragedy of her husband's sudden death, and the pain of losing Pete, the shelter cat who co-authored three of her books. Written with honesty, heart, and humor, Animals Welcome is a personal glimpse into the life of an author who loves animals, and the philosophy by which she lives.
Peg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent 14 years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington. Kehret’s novels focus on ordinary kids in exciting situations who must then use their wits to solve problems. Regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council, her works include Danger at the Fair, Cages, Dangerous Deception, and Earthquake Terror. Kehret’s autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.
