Dusty Doogle Finds a Golden Crown - Hardcover

by Jeanne Apeland (Author), Katelyn Vesco (Illustrator)

A little boy named Dusty Doogle is envious of his school friends who have many things he doesn't have; and he wishes he could be rich just like them. Growing up in the country on a farm was lots of fun for Dusty, but he always felt that his friends who live in town were happier because they had many more things than he had. They lived in big new houses and had fancy shiny bicycles. Dusty wanted to be rich just like his friends. With the encouragement of his mother, father, and sister, Dusty embarks on a treasure hunt in search of a golden crown, which apparently is nestled someplace in his own back yard. He was excited knowing that finding this treasure would make him richer than any of his friends. After a series of fun little adventures around the farm; and with the help of some of his favorite animals, Dusty finds his golden crown and discovers what being rich is all about. A fun book about gratitude, and a great reminder for both children and adults of what really matters in life.
