A special event is coming to Country Floral, Gifts, and Greenhouse in Williston on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at 10:00 AM. All are invited for a heartwarming event featuring "Buddy the Dog," a touching children's book that teaches valuable lessons about friendship and embracing differences. The event will feature author Gretchen Stenehjem from Watford City, and it promises to be a delightful experience for children and families alike.

"Buddy the Dog," tells the inspiring story of a canine with a disability who faces challenges in making friends due to his appearance. Through understanding and empathy, the other animals in the tale learn to overcome their fears and prejudices, forging a lasting friendship with Buddy. This beautifully illustrated book not only captivates young readers but also imparts essential life lessons about acceptance and inclusivity. That's something we could all be a little better!

Gretchen Stenehjem will be present at Country Floral to read the story aloud and personally autograph copies of her new book. To make the event even more special, attending children will receive gift bags, and treats will be available.
