Books by Cynthia Crosson

Sunny's mom, Amanda, returns from deployment in Afghanistan injured and confined to a wheelchair. Spark, her service dog, helps her regain independence. When Sunny accompanies Mom and Spark to appointments at the veteran's center, she meets Malcolm whose veteran dad, Gabe, also has combat-related injuries. Sunny and Malcolm become friends and decide that Gabe, too, needs a specially trained service dog. Together they strive to make it happen.

Daddy comes home from war with post traumatic stress syndrome. His service dog is trained to be dedicated to Daddy, and Daddy's dog is not meant to be a child's pet. Cynthia Crosson, Ed.D, a psychiatric social worker, and Carole Williams, illustrator, provide children with a clear, gentle explanation about why this is Only Daddy's Dog.
