Shows a two sided image- Left side: A painted illustration of a German Shepherd sitting patiently in what looks like a veterinary clinic. There’s a paw-print logo and the word “Veterinary” faintly in the background. Curved purple lettering reads “ILY THE DRAMA QUEEN GOES TO THE VET.” The dog is wearing a collar and has an alert, slightly soulful expression, like she’s bravely tolerating an unwanted appointment. The style feels warm and storybook-like, as if it’s a children’s book cover. Right side: A candid photo of Heather and William Turner seated closely together at what appears to be a formal celebration or reception (possibly a wedding). They’re smiling warmly, leaning into each other. The setting looks rustic—wooden beams, soft lighting, other guests in the background. William is wearing a suit with a boutonniere; Heather is dressed neatly and relaxed, giving the moment a cozy, affectionate feel.

ABOUT THE BOOK

ILY, the Drama Queen with the biggest heart and the loudest voice. In this heartwarming and humorous children’s book, ILY takes us on a journey to the vet where her emotions run wild. At home, she’s a calm and cuddly German Shepherd, but at the vet, she becomes a full-scale Drama Queen. From happy wiggles to operatic protests, ILY feels everything out loud and that’s okay. But with the help of patient veterinary staff and familiar routines, ILY learns that even scary moments can pass and calm can return.

Told in playful rhyme and filled with expressive moments, this story gently shows young readers that it’s okay to have big feelings and that love and compassion can conquer any fear. Recommended for children ages 3-7, all dog lovers, and especially German Shepherd owners who can relate to their fur kids being Drama Queens. ILY was training to be a guide but was released from the program for medical reasons and adopted by her puppy raisers.

FROM HEATHER

“Why am I donating proceeds to this cause? Because Ily, (who is the loudmouthed star of this project) was originally destined to be a service dog. Because I very much admire Brendan and his goals for his nonprofit, and who his organization helps (both people and pups) and because this book was done for fun and not with the goal to conquer the children’s book market.”
