Waggy Tails with Archie & Dougal
Fun times with Waggy Tails to Rainbows end.
About the Author
Tracey lives in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. She has always had a fondness for West Highland White Terriers and Scottie dogs.
“I’ve enjoyed the companionship of my two boys. Dougal was with us from the age of 6 weeks. Archie was 2 and a half when he joined our family to become Dougal’s ‘big brother’, and my shy but cheeky little gentleman.”
Both Archie and Dougal were diabetic in their last 4 years. They had special diets, and insulin injections day and night (which Tracey had to learn to administer). This did not slow down their playfulness and love of life. Sadly, both have now crossed the rainbow bridge, when Archie was 15, in December 2022, and Dougal at 14, in January 2024.
They brought so much joy and love, and they are both greatly missed.

Fredrick The Friendly Fox and The Giant Worry
Fredrick isn’t your average fox – he’s funny, imaginative, and dreams of being the first fox to land on the moon. But one morning, Fredrick wakes up feeling strange. His tummy feels funny, and for the first time, he’s not his usual happy self. Unsure of why he’s feeling this way, Fredrick starts his day and meets his best friend, Ada, who quickly notices something’s wrong. Fredrick talks to Ada about how he feels, and she helps him realise that all his little worries have stuck together, forming a giant “worry bubble” that’s weighing him down.
Through gentle support, kindness, and the power of friendship, Ada shows Fredrick how talking about feelings and sharing emotions can help pop that bubble of worries. Perfect for children, this heartwarming story teaches valuable lessons about managing worries, expressing emotions, and leaning on people you can trust for support. Fredrick the Fox and the Giant Worry Bubble is a must-read for families looking to inspire kindness, connection, and emotional resilience in young readers.
