Welcome, little one. You have been chosen to join us, in the dark and in the light, in love and in cloth, in safety and in danger. You join us. Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. He's almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more "normal" interests. But Clark can't shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. Sometimes they move around in the night and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they've engaged in battle. And it turns out . . . he's right. Clark's dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark's stuffies are able to fight him off. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom tries to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she's actually putting Clark's dad and the entire household in mortal peril. Now it's up to Clark's grandma-made sock animal, Foon, to save the day. Luckily, being handmade by a loved one gives Foon extra battle points, but he's still a brand-new stuffy. Does he have what it takes to rid Clark's house of all its monsters? Told through both Clark's and Foon's points of view, Stuffed confirms every kid's dream: that stuffed animals do have a life and a purpose, and that sometimes the most unconventional friendships are also the most valuable.

Bring a little "pet therapy" to people who are lonely or discouraged! Having four children and the responsibility of raising happy children was Patricia Gallagher's life. She loved being a parent. When the kids moved away from home, she felt a void in her life. She thought there was nothing she could do about it until 11,000 stuffed animals transformed it! In 2009, Philadelphia area writer Patricia Gallagher, asked her 85-year-old mother to go with her to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the residents of a nursing home. She gathered colorful props to go along with the story - Christmas stockings, gingerbread ornaments, stuffed animals and brightly-colored quilts. It was so well-received that she continued the project long after the holiday season ended. "Stories for Seniors" was a simple concept that changed Patricia Gallagher's life. With the help of the readers of Craigslist, she collected more than 11,000 stuffed animals and blankets to give when she visited nursing homes, AIDS hospices and hospitals. Each stuffed animal sends a vital message to the recipient, "Someone cares." Some things you never outgrow! Patricia Gallagher www.patriciausa.com Box 561, Worcester, PA 19490
