A big part of what she does is a tour of animal shelters instead of bookstores.And a lot of what she does is letting people know of rescue organizations,the work they do and the kinds of animals they work with.Also because her last book is about her cat Homer,who is blind,there is a lot of work that she does with special and disabled animals.
Ever since she was a little girl,she had a passion for two things---books and animals.People always ask her,"Why do you care so much about animals?"However,she always wants to ask them,"Why don't you care so much about animals?"It is never really a decision that she has made; it's just the way she has always been.But really she doesn't like to see anyone suffer whether it's a person or an animal,as she thinks whether we walk on two legs or four,suffering is suffering.
Although her latest book Love Saves the Day is written for adults,there is a message for kids in it,which is,learning to appreciate their parents.It is a story of a mother and a grown daughter who have a very difficult relationship.A big part of what the daughter has to learn is to see things from her mother's point of view.One of the key parts of the book is how the mother and daughter learn to better understand each other.
