Book cover for "P is for Posie"

Roaming amidst the foliage at Patt’s Garden Center in Clarkston is a Bernedoodle named Posie. Besides serving as the store’s mascot, Posie is a featured character in a newly released children’s book.

In “‘P’ is for Posie” the dog and her precocious sidekick Vera Kate explore all the careers Vera thinks Posie is suitable for from A to Z. It’s written by Kate Petterson, manager at Patt’s, and illustrated by Sam Coulter, an instructor in graphic communications at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston.

A book release party is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Patt’s, 1280 Port Drive. Signed "paw-tographed" copies of the self-published book will be available for purchase.
