Coe\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in the seaside community of Duxbury, Massachusetts, and went on to live in New York and San Francisco, as well as large and small towns on both U.S. coasts. During her family's most recent move, she noticed her dog's confusion and started to wonder what was going through his mind. As they walked in Boston's Fenway neighborhood, his reactions to the sights, sounds, and smells of the city took hold of her imagination. While she has written for many publications and nonprofit causes, authoring her first novel for children is the realization of a lifelong dream. Victoria now lives with her family on the outskirts of Boston where she and her dog are always on the lookout for delivery trucks. And squirrels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Malaysia, \u003cb\u003eJoanne Lew-Vriethoff\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Los Angeles and now devides her time between Amsterdam and Asia. She has worked in the television industry as a character and concept illustrator for clients pitching children's television shows as well as in graphic design in New York. Besides making art, Joanne loves exploring the world with her family, road trips, photography, cycling along the Amsterdam canals at midnight, snorkeling, day dreaming, collecting picture books and stationary, and loves Kpop and Jazz.\u003cp\u003e1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Big Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRomping in the Dog Park behind our house is pretty awesome. But riding in the car with Hattie and Fetch Man is even better, because we’re going to the Big Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Big Park has picnic tables. The Big Park has a garbage can. But best of all, the Big Park has a huge grassy space to run and play in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI love everything about the Big Park—except the squirrels. Squirrels are sneaky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs soon as our car stops in the crunchy gravel, me and Hattie tumble out. Hattie loves going to the Big Park as much as I do. Fetch Man can hardly keep up with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile we stop to water a small tree (me, not them), I glance around. It looks like we have the whole park to ourselves. The squirrels know better than to show their beady little faces when I’m around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHattie unclips my leash, and Fetch Man grabs a stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Ready, Fenway?” he says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy tail goes nuts, and I rush past the garbage can. “I’m so ready! I’m so ready!” I bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI watch Fetch Man’s arm whip back, then—\u003cb\u003efwoosh!\u003c\/b\u003e The stick flies through the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sprint after it. “I got it! I got it!” I bark. That stick is mine! \u003cb\u003eTwaap!\u003c\/b\u003e It plops down, and I pounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChomp!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI prance back to Hattie, my tail high and proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Good boy, Fenway!” she sings. She pats my head, like she thinks I won’t notice Fetch Man’s hand reaching for the stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI clench my teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gimme that stick. Gimme that stick.” Fetch Man growls, wearing a wide smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a few pulls and tugs, I let Fetch Man win. That’s part of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFetch Man throws the stick again and again. Each time, I race after it and give it a chomp when it lands. I bring it back to Hattie for a “good boy” and some head pats. Then I let Fetch Man win at tug-of-war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFetch is the Best Game Ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve just started racing the stick back to Hattie again when I notice something. A huge Rottweiler trots into the park. A tall human wearing a cap jogs behind her. I’ve never seen them before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHattie rubs my head. “Good boy,” she says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFetch Man goes for the stick. “Gimme!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile I’m tugging, I watch a Frisbee whiz through the air. The Rottweiler leaps up, her body twisting, and—wowee!—she snatches it in midair! What an amazing trick!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFetch Man pulls the stick from my mouth and hurls it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I race after the stick, the Frisbee whizzes by a second time. It goes higher and higher. The Rottweiler springs up, flips head over tail, and—whoopee!—snatches it in midair again!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes a moment or two before I remember my own stick, lying in the grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarmen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHattie claps. “WOW!” she cries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Cool!” Fetch Man shouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey sound impressed. I know how they feel. Those Frisbee tricks are awesome!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rottweiler trots through the grass. She holds her tail high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she reaches her tall human, she drops the Frisbee at his feet. He rubs her all over. “Attagirl, Carmen!” he says, laughing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Thanks, Felipe!” she barks. “Let’s do it again!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe seems to understand. The moment Felipe reaches for the Frisbee, Carmen springs up like the grass is on fire. She takes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Hey, I want to do awesome tricks, too!” I yell, romping after her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe doesn’t break a stride. “If you can reach the Frisbee first!” she calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhizzzzz!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Frisbee sails high overhead. Carmen is already past the picnic tables. She’s in the middle of the Big Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“No fair!” I call. “You had a head start!” I chase her as fast as I can. But she’s a lot faster. She pulls farther ahead with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, Carmen turns and looks up. The Frisbee is almost directly above her. How did she even know that?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m so far back, I don’t even stand a chance. All I can do is watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarmen leaps up. She spins completely around. And—\u003cb\u003echomp\u003c\/b\u003e—she nabs the Frisbee in midair. Again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hear Hattie and Fetch Man clapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarmen gallops past me, the Frisbee firmly in her jaws. I follow her back to Felipe. “That was amazing!” I tell her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe drops the Frisbee at her tall human’s feet, and he rubs her all over. “Attagirl! Attagirl!” he cries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHattie and Fetch Man rush over. “Woot!” they say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarmen drops into the grass for a belly rub. “Way to go, Carmen!” Felipe says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody sounds impressed. Carmen is on her back, her legs sprawled out and kicking with happiness. She’s clearly enjoying all the attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is totally unfair. There’s no way I can beat her to the Frisbee. But then I get another idea. While everybody is praising Carmen, I rush across the park to snatch my stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI come back and leave it at Hattie’s feet. “Throw it again!” I bark, pawing her leg. “I bet I can do tricks like Carmen, too!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Oh, Fenway,” she says. She does not sound interested, but she takes the stick anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI race out into the grass. “I’m ready! I’m so ready!” I bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHattie’s arm goes back. She hurls the stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFwoosh\u003c\/b\u003e! It flies through the air.  I charge after it. When I get past the picnic tables, I slow down. I turn. I leap. I twist. I’m going to nab it in midair!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then—\u003cb\u003etwaap\u003c\/b\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hear the stick land in the grass behind me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI whip around and stare. Carmen made it look so easy. What went wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, I realize the problem. Carmen has a Frisbee. And I don’t.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G.P.
