Boston, a lovable bulldog, moves to a new town and sets out to make new friends. He quickly realizes that not everyone is friendly and welcoming. Discouraged, he goes home with his tail between his legs. However, with persistence, he teaches others about compassion and kindness. These are life lessons that every child can benefit from while they enjoy the beautifully illustrated story. Biggie Silvestri was born in Revere, Massachusetts, a small town north of Boston. When he moved to Richmond, Virginia, he found his dream dog, Boston, a baby bulldog who inspired him to write this story. Biggie has always loved telling stories, and at one time in his life, his friends called him "Joe Stories." He credits his creative side to his dad, who always told Biggie and his three bothers bedtime stories. He credits his writing to his mom, who always loved to write poetry. Biggie is the father to one son, Joey, and married to his high school sweetheart, Kelly. He hopes to bring a positive message to all who hear his story.
