About The Book

Little Steps with Big Lessons

Every child has the ability to learn something from the world around them. Sometimes, the best lessons come through a story, a friendship, or even the curious nature of a beloved dog.

Baxter’s Tales was created to bring those moments to life.

Baxter’s adventures are filled with warmth, humor, imagination, and heart. As children follow along with Baxter, they are introduced to lessons about friendship, kindness, compassion, curiosity, and the importance of enjoying life’s simple experiences.

About The Author

Hi! I’m Michael J. Sanfilippo

My journey with Baxter began in a simple way.

I first met Baxter while my neighbors, Mary and Paul, were taking him for a walk. Because I have always loved dogs—and Baxter has a special love for people—we quickly became friends.

Over time, whenever Mary and Paul needed a dog sitter, I was happy to help. Those experiences gave Baxter and me the opportunity to develop a special bond, and I began to see just how unique his personality really was.
