Donna-Leigh Perfect has said, "When I was a young girl I experienced horrific trauma at the age of 7. Then I was separated from my siblings and put into foster homes where I was bullied and abused"

"While attending one of the 13 foster homes I remember a kind foster mum who used to read stories to me in bed at night."

"These stories took me on a journey enabling me to escape my reality for a short while. I will never forget those happy moments".

"This is why I have written this beautiful children’s series “The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar” - to give the gift of a happy moment and some good old fashioned family values that can be shared by reading these stories with an adult and child."

"Rocky Rockstar is a special dog and the bond Jessie and Rocky Rockstar share is very unique. While traveling through life’s adventures Rocky Rockstar teaches Jessie everyday life lessons of compassion, believing in herself and building resilience through overcoming adversity."

"I thank you for your support and I wish you many happy moments sharing these stories with the special young people in your life too."

The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar
PUPPY RESCUE
Have you ever wished for something so bad you have
dreamed it into your life? Little 10-year-old Jessie has a tiny
button nose, friendly smile and cheeky sparkle in her eyes.
She loves being outdoors, exploring the beach where she
lives with her mum, stepdad and big brother.
Jessie dreams of having a puppy of her own to play and run
along the sand with. Just like the ones she watches from her
beach house. To Jessie that’s all it will ever be...just a
dream...or will it come true.
The Adventures of Jessie and Rocky Rockstar

TIGER

Rocky Rockstar is not your everyday dog. Imagine a dog that
looks like a tiger. Or maybe it’s a tiger that looks like a dog.
This is how a boy describes little 10-year-old Jessie’s dog.
Enjoying a beautiful sunny day playing together on the
beach, Jessie is faced with something very scary. With only
seconds to react, Jessie quickly learns there is something
very special about her “Tiger” dog Rocky Rockstar.


Donna-Leigh would love to visit your school, daycare or community event with an author reading and signing soon.
