"I will never forget Mackinac Island, and I don't think Mackinac Island will forget me either!" — Ava, Yorkshire Terrier & adventure dog
Narrated by Ava herself, this charming picture book brings Mackinac Island to life through the eyes — and nose — of a tiny, brave Yorkshire Terrier.
Every page is narrated by Ava herself — curious, brave, a little vain, and completely lovable.
Beautiful AI-generated watercolor art inspired by real photographs from the Brown family's visits to Mackinac Island.
A portion of every sale is donated to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital and animal welfare organizations.
From the big rumbling ferry boat to the horse dogs of Main Street — Mackinac Island has never been seen quite like this.
Ava came into our family at a time when our youngest daughter needed healing and joy. She brought our daughter both healing and happiness when she needed them most.
A portion of this book's proceeds are donated to the Child and Family Life team at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and to animal welfare organizations.
Ava was given to bring joy to our sick child, and so we want this book about Ava to help other sick children and the animals who help them heal.
Read Ava's Story
A perfect gift for children who love dogs, families who love Mackinac Island, and anyone who believes that small dogs can have the biggest adventures.
