How Cupcake Puppy Got Her Name

This English-Spanish story is mostly true, told from the perspective of looking back from some 30 years.

Joyce Ragland wrote the story in English; a professor of Spanish translated. It is published with English on one page, Spanish on the next page so that new learners of either language can immediately translate. Illustrations are photographs of Ella Ragland and her then four-year old granddaughter, the dairy farm and the house in town. Grandma Ella adopted a new small puppy – a town dog, not a farm dog. She needed help with the name but what her Granddaughter suggested is not what Gramma Ella heard.

Donations of $18.00 or above will receive a copy of our bilingual book, How Cupcake Puppy Got Her Name/Como Cupcake, La Cachorra, Fue Nombrada.
