Webster starts new adventure

A duo of Mission women have released their second book chronicling the adventures of Webster, the bookstore cat.
Heather Neufeld, author, and Carmen Braun, illustrator, were recently at Mission Save On Foods signing copies of the new book, titled Webster’s Christmas Miracle.
Half the profits from the original book, Webster, were donated to the Seeds of Hope charity, and this time around, the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, specifically the Jaida Kooy Fund, will be the recipient of the donated funds.
The money, Neufeld explained, will go towards helping with family travelling expenses, for those who have to travel a great distance to be with their children at the Vancouver-based hospital.
In this book, Webster is settling well into his new home until something happens that upsets his world, said Neufeld, who didn’t want to give more of the story away.
The children just love the story, she said, as the Mission women weren’t planning on releasing a second book.
“But there was such a demand from the school children, especially those from Christine Morrison,” said Neufeld.
Braun and Neufeld would see the kids’ eyes light up whenever they did a signing, and they knew they had to pen another.
The book is available online at roselainepublications.com.
