Itty Bitty, the tiny Dachshund hero of "Itty Bitty Saves the Day" will be on hand while Ventura County author Armando N. Garza reads his new children's book on Saturday, July 7, at Adventures for Kids, 3457 Telegraph Road, in Ventura from 10am to 12pm. Garza and Itty Bitty will be available for a book signing after the reading.

"Itty Bitty Saves the Day" is a heartwarming 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 tries to keep up with his brothers and sister, but is just not strong enough. All of the puppies seem to be growing up big and strong, except for Itty Bitty.

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".

It was Itty Bitty's struggle to survive and his unconditional love for everyone that he comes in contact with that inspired the author to put this picture book together.

Family veterinarian Sam Thomas was concerned for Itty Bitty and initially thought that the puppy would not survive, but he did survive against all odds and by the grace of God.

The pictures were collected during the first two months of Itty Bitty's life and the story wrote itself once the pictures were assembled.

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