I had hoped, but not necessarily excepted, that "Our Service Dogs" would be helpful for trainers who travel to schools and businesses to educate students and staff about Service Dogs.
Much to my delight I have learned that there are multiple trainers doing this. They not only bring my book as a visual aid and learning tool, but they have also been GIFTING my books to the places they visit!!!
additionally, there have been a few different families who have purchased many copies of my book to pass out to family, friends, and their church/ school to prep their community for their incoming service dog.
I think that is SO COOL because it is the precise reason I wrote and illustrated "Our Service Dogs" to begin with!
 Because of all of this,  I wanted to remind the fans of my book that I do offer bulk pricing and discounts. If you plan to purchase 5 or more copies of "Our Service Dogs" shoot me an email and Ill hook you up with the best deal I can manage :)

    Would you like to make a bulk order for "Our Service Dogs?"

Pipers Key (Announcment)

Piper's Key is a wonderful nonprofit charity that gifts inclusive books to children with disabilities that represent their unique selves in a positive light. 
Over 30 copies of "Our Service Dogs" have been gifted to awesome kiddos through Piper's Key!! 
Picture

Great News!

Because I love Piper's Key and what they are doing I want to make it super easy for my fans, friends and followers to donate my books to them. Starting today, you can use the listing below to send a copy of "Our Service Dogs" straight to Pipers Key!!
You can donate anywhere from $8 to $70 worth of books per transaction. 
Because of shipping and handling, the more copies you send, the less it is per book! 

When Kaylee was about 5 years old she had AFO's (leg braces) and a cute walker to help her get around. We were at Target looking for Halloween costumes. Suddenly Kaylee started clapping. She had a HUGE smile on her face and held up the tag for a witch costume. It had a picture of a little girl who also had AFO's and a cute little green walker. Kaylee was thrilled to see someone "like her" on an advertisement. She told me that she did not know there were actually other kids like her out there. It made our whole week so much brighter and helped to boost Kaylee's confidence and love of her walking aides.

(Kaylee's first Halloween with a walker! Her hair cut was a gift from Isabelle 😅)
I believe every book placed by Piper's Key will have a great impact on the children who receive them. Times are crazy right now, but if it's in the cards for you, please consider donating to Piper's Key!

Meet Eve and Finn

10/23/2021

0 Comments

 
Eve and Finn hold a special place in my heart and I am excited to get to share a bit of their story!

Picture
Eve was born with O.I (Osteogenesis imperfecta) also known as "brittle bone disease". Finn is Eve's mobility dog. He helps her with her mobility needs, i.e. transferring from the floor to her chair, but his large size also keeps Eve safe in busy environments. Because Eve is fragile it can be dangerous for her to be in a crowd where she could easily get bumped into. Finn, however, is hard to ignore in the busiest of crowds. People are sure to give Eve plenty of room when Finn is at her side. 
Finn has become more than a service dog to Eve. Together the two explore new places and meet new people. They read and snuggle. And, they have been making waves preforming together!
Picture
​Most recently, Even and Finn preformed in a musical side by side. Long before that, Finn has been supporting Eve from the sidelines while Eve dances. 
Eve loves having Finn in her life, and Finn knew Eve was the girl for him from the first time he saw her. When I asked Eve what their least favorite thing to do together was she said, "...that's a bit of a hard one because we're always so happy when we are together..." Though, apparently, Finn is not too found of playing fetch so that game is out! 
One of Eves fondest memories of Finn is when they first met at Service Dog Project and instantly connected. They also had an adventure involving monkey's at the Omaha zoo but I'll leave the rest of the story up to your imagination.
This is one incredible team! I have loved getting to know Eve and Finn and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them. Although Eve and Finn were not featured in "Our Service Dogs" we will definitely be seeing more of them soon!
​...well, Finn might have snuck in as a cameo in "Our Service Dogs"...

Alexander Elementary Boundless Playground!

9/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Playgrounds can be tricky for disabled kids. Imagine the disappointment of thinking you are going to get to go to the park and play with your friends only to realize, once you got there, that it is full of steps, pebbles, narrow walkways, and other barriers that make playing on it impossible for you. We have been there... a lot. 
However, thanks to some awesome communities and engineers banding together, boundless playgrounds are making their way across the nation! We lived in Alaska for a time, and almost every playground there had been transformed into an inclusive playground. It was so nice for Kaylee to be able to play with her friends instead of sitting on the sidelines with me!
Picture

These playground's are life changing for disabled children and their peers!

Alexander Elementary, a school in a neighboring city, is currently trying to raise money to get their very own boundless playground! Their fundraiser was started by a mother who wanted her daughter, and other children with disabilities, to have the opportunity to play at recess. The community has raised over a 1/3 of the funds they need so far.
If Alexander is able to build their playground, it be the only playground of its kind in their city and I want to help them reach their goal! 

Lets Help Alexander Elementary get a Boundless Playground!

dFrom August 26th 2021 to September 4th 2021 50% of all "Our Service Dogs" online sales will go to Alexander Elementary Schools Boundless Playground fund! This will include all book purchases from Amazon.com AND AmberDianeHill.com!!

Amazon reviews are so important for a self published author like myself. Not only do they give valuable feedback for both the author and reader, but they also make it easier for potential readers to find the book. The more Amazon reviews a book has, the sooner it surfaces in searches. Thank you for your reviews!
Here are a few of my favorite Amazon reviews of "Our Service Dogs"
Picture

This book should be in every library, home, and classroom.

As a children's librarian and literacy consultant, I can think of few books that I consider essential to complete a collection for today's young child. "Our Service Dogs" opens the window for understanding the benefit of service dogs in an accurate and positive way by providing a range of children and their services dogs. There is no book that I can find like this and the illustrations and story engage the reader from the cover to the helpful notes at the end.
Picture

Wonderful

Absolutely lovely book! A smooth fun read aloud that also teaches kids all about different service dogs. I love how this book not only teaches about service dogs but also what behavior is expected from people around service dogs! Not to mention the adorable illustrations!

My Toddlers New Favorite

Ever since we got this book last week this book has become #1 for my toddler (and I thought it was more targeted towards older kids, so just goes to show that kids at any age will enjoy this). He's always asking to read the "doggy book" and we especially enjoy the illustrations since I think that's a big factor of keeping him so engaged. I also really loved this book for it's content. Even as an adult I loved learning about the different kids with disabilities and how dogs help out and what I can do to learn more. I love that my toddler is learning this too. Overall a wonderfully engaging, beautiful, and educational book!
Picture

Great Book... so glad someone made this

​The information and illustrations are awesome to teach kids and others about service dogs. I love this. I hand it out to schools when I go to demonstrate service dogs. I give talks and demonstrations with service dogs that I train. This is a great adjunct to my visits. I bought several for my family members and to take along to my visits.
