About the Book

About the Book

Skipper, a beagle puppy, loves his adopted family - his human mom and dad, his brother Ezra, and particularly his grandma - who all accept his beagle ways - and especially when his beagle nature gets him into trouble. All he wants is to be accepted as part of his family.

Written and illustrated by Shirley Shoub, Skipper's Stories is a heartwarming reflection of Skipper's quest for love and belonging. Despite Skipper's penchant for adventure (and misadventure), this true-to-life tale proves that love wins after all.

About the Author

Shirley Shoub is a consummate communicator, through writing, art, illustrating and in creating relationships with adults and children alike.

Armed with a B.A. in English and her A.E.C. in Social Counselling, as well as studies in drawing and painting, and television production at Concordia University, Shirley held positions as Coordinator of Montreal Women's Network, and Editor of the Network's newsletter, as well as creating vehicles to bring discussions of women's equality to the public. She continued in the communication world by creating documentaries and a five-part television series for CF Cable in Montreal, Quebec, and directing, producing, researching and interviewing participants in the weekly tv series, Changing Scenes, for Quebec's Videotron Cable TV.

Shirley has worked with children, working for 16 years as the Director of the McGill University Health Centre Home Child Care Agency Centre de la Petite Enfance. As a research social worker, she created an agency profile of juvenile prostitution, which resulted in the creation of Passages, a shelter in Montreal for juvenile female prostitutes. She also wrote articles about women's issues for Communiqu'Elles Magazine.

That altruistic spirit continued with her work as a social counsellor for foster children, their parents and foster parents, through Ville Marie Social Services, and in teaching ESL at Montreal's Chinese Community Centre.

Continued art training with George Deligeorge and Noa Ne'eman in community courses in Cote St. Luc, Quebec, Shirley has combined her love of writing and drawing into two children's books. She partnered with Sharon Asher on What Makes a Perfect Princess, published in 2022, as its illustrator.

Skipper's Stories, the first in a series, is Shirley's initial step into both writing and illustrating a children's book.

Shirley was born and raised in Montreal. She is the proud mother of three and grandmother of five. Skipper was their family dog many years ago and he remains in their hearts forever.
