Kim Reitter and her husband, Chuck, experienced a lot of fear and despair after Louie ran away from his caretaker’s home while they were vacationing with their family 1,100 miles away. With five grandchildren, Kim always loves reading books to them and especially loves books that rhyme. After Louie’s ordeal, she thought his story would make a good children’s book. After retiring, Kim finally had the time to sit down and draft the poem into a story. She and Chuck live in St. Louis, Missouri, with Louie.
About Tessa Buck

In addition to drawing, Tessa has a pony named Penny, and she loves riding horses and competing in horse shows. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her mom and dad, her brother, Jack; sister, Olive; dog, Henry; and cats, Holly and Harry.
