Author Renee Pierce-Williams is pleased to announce the release of her new book, Buck, the Good Doog. The book was illustrated by her daughter Shelby Renee Williams.
Renee says, “Shelby brings Buck the Good Doog to life with her love for animals and her artistic ability. Each image in the book is hand painted. There are no computer-generated illustrations. Because Shelby grew up knowing and loving Buck, she was the obvious choice to be the illustrator for this book. No one else could have painted a more accurate depiction of the main character. As a writer and her mother, I am truly honored to have worked with her on this project.”

This just has to be success for you Renee. A great story and a mother/ daughter collaboration. All the best with it. Can't wait for my copy!
Thank you my friend. "Buck" is on his way to the UK for a visit. Thank you for all of your support.
Congratulations! I do have one question and I'm going to seem like the typical guy but it truly is bugging me. Which photo is of of Renee and which one is of Shelby? From where I'm sitting they look like they could be twins. Am I the only one with this question?
Anyways, which ever of these stunning ladies is Shelby, I say, "Great job on the artwork!"
Wishing you both great success!
Blessings,
