A Year of Magic: Tales of Animals Dancing in Your Heart is a small world of short stories where memory, myth, and history brush up against the events of everyday life in surprising ways. Each tale is rooted in real animal connection, then reimagined through time, place, and meaning—unfolding in moments that are tender, funny, and quietly brave. These are not lectures or fables. They are intimate vignettes for thoughtful readers who find comfort in beauty, spirit in the companionship of animals, and magic in those who walk beside us.
