Donna Parrey is an author and pet adopter who combines her love for the arts and her love for animals in her first children's book, The MuttCracker. An experienced researcher and business writer, she turns her skills toward creating a fun reading experience. "My research into various dog breeds felt like I was holding auditions for the various roles I wanted to fill for the characters in my book. I am so happy with the matches between the dogs' various personalities and their characters, and the artist brought them all to life beautifully!"
