I just received my copy of this charming children’s book written by my on-line friend, Nancy Offen.
It is the story of a gimpy Siberian Husky who has big dreams and aspirations – and a lot of heart. Timi wants only to pull the sled with the other dogs and he doesn’t understand that his bad leg will keep him out of the competition.
The heartwarming tale follows Timi’s desire, hope, and determination and his subsequent realization that he is a crippled dog that is very different from all of the other dogs.
But something happens to Timi’s life and he finds that he has more than enough love to give to one little girl and that he can find happiness and fulfillment in giving all of his love and determination to this one little girl.
I am so excited to have the book: Nancy just published it a few months ago in collaboration with Kim Briele, the artist. Of course, I had mine autographed and it means the world to me:
“My dear friend Jaci, May this little story bring much delight to the hearts of your grandkids. The Lord tenderly bless you now and always. With love, Nancy.”
That is Nancy: tender and gentle. She does a little bit of mushing near her home in Delaware with her own Siberian Huskies and she owns two horses: a handsome Haflinger and an opinionated mini-horse. A portion of the proceeds of the book goes to Siberian Husky Rescue
The book is beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written and will, indeed, be a treasure in this house full of grandchildren.
(If you want your own copy, send $18.00US plus $5.00 for shipping & handling to:

I believe Nancy also takes pay-pal and if you decide to do that, let me know and I will give you her email address.
The Siberian Husky will forever be my favorite breed of dog. I’ve owned a number of them over the years, and have two of them right now, a brother and sister, Damien and Diamond. They look like a set of bookends, both with beautiful blue eyes.
I’m definitely going to be in touch with Nancy to purchase a couple of copies of her book; one for me and one to donate to our community library. It’s great that a rescue organization for these dogs will benefit from the sales, as well.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Jaci! 🙂
