Come and meet Itty Bitty!

The tiny Dachshund hero of "Itty Bitty Saves the Day" will join Ventura County author Armando N. Garza for a reading of the heartwarming children's book on Saturday, November 3 at the Young Readers' Story Fest, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be held in the rear, lawn area of the Ventura Unified School District building at 255 W. Stanley Avenue in Ventura.

Several children's book authors will be in attendance to provide free public readings designed for children from pre-school through second grade.

"Itty Bitty Saves the Day" is an inspiring picture book about a little Dachshund puppy that is born with special needs. Through tender care from his owner, MaryAnn, Itty Bitty is soon strong enough to eat alongside his brothers and sister. Itty Bitty is the runt of the litter, though, and has very BIG feet. He just can't seem to keep up. But then, one beautiful, sunny day, Itty Bitty finds his doggie family in the middle of an emergency. Itty Bitty's size works to his advantage, and through his heroic actions he is able to save the day for his family.

The original, color photographs and story relay one of life's true lessons to young children: "Even though you are little, you can do BIG THINGS!"

This simple story will inspire children of all ages, but especially children with special needs who know what it is like to be "Itty Bitty"

Garza and Itty Bitty will be available for book signings before and after the readings which will take place at 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.

The book is also available by calling LifeVest Publishing at 1-877-843-1007, or online at www.authorstobelievein.com, and also at www.amazon.com.
