Adapted from the award-winning short film of the same name, this heartwarming children’s picture book follows the journey of a determined puppy who overcomes adversity to discover his purpose as a service dog."Andy’s journey reflects the heart of what service dogs do—providing independence, companionship, and love." —Jean Schulz, president of Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates Meet Andy––the smallest of his litter––who first captured hearts and minds in the original short film, brought to life by Ignite Animation Studios through the support of Jean Schulz, the Executive Producer and a Canine Companions board member. Now Andy’s inspiring story leaps off the screen and onto the page in this uplifting retelling by John Kelly, a contributor to the original film script. Follow along as Andy faces challenges on his path, mirroring the real-life dedication, training, and bond that go into preparing service dogs to help people with disabilities. Here’s what makes Andy: A Dog’s Tale unforgettable: • Teaches Empathy & Awareness: Introduces kids to the important work of service dogs and how they help people with disabilities. • Celebrates Perseverance: A gentle story about overcoming challenges and discovering where you belong. • Visually Engaging: Features full-color art directly inspired by the award-winning short film. • Bonus Keepsake: Comes with a dust jacket that unfolds into a ‘Be A Hero’ poster, perfect for bedroom walls or classrooms. With its universal themes of resilience, compassion, and the power of purpose, Andy’s story will resonate with young readers, families, dog-lovers, and people of all abilities. This touching tale reminds us that unlikely heroes often come from small beginnings—and that what matters most is the size of your heart.

Whether it’s tightly rolled up between two nervous, wringing hands, proudly sticking out from a quick-stepping back pocket or carefully brought home to be kept for posterity, the match day programme is part of the very fabric of the GAA and in The GAA Covered this glorious document gets its long overdue day in the sun. The GAA Covered is a stunning visual compendium of over 100 years of GAA programme covers from 1913 to the present day, and an invaluable collection of local, social and sports history. Each page of this comprehensive collection features striking images of that year’s provincial and All-Ireland final match programmes, along with superb captions of context and colour. John Kelly’s labour of love will mesmerise GAA fans – from the diehard who will appreciate the compilation of such a wide range of programmes to the casual fan who will be enthralled by the immense beauty of the book.
