"Young lady, no dog has ever dug to China," Hallie Jo is told over and over again. But she knows something special about her beagle Henry. "My dog CAN dig to CHINA," she insists, but the townsfolk don't believe her. Not the fireman, not the baker, not the postman . . . not even Mrs. Beale So Hallie Jo sets out on a mission to show everyone that she's telling the truth.

Rev. Bev Davis is an avid "observer of life." A late bloomer, she received her master's of divinity degree from McCormick Theological Seminary, Chicago, in 2007. Living most of her life on the South Side of Chicago, she took a "leap of faith," which led her to seminary, then to pastor a small UCC church in northern Wisconsin, and currently to serve as a hospice chaplain in Milwaukee. She has raised two wonderful children and currently lives in Milwaukee with her husband Steve and their funny little Coco, a dachshund/cocker spaniel mix. Bev hopes this book will help your child-and you-see the possibilities each of your lives hold.
