Some readers prefer not to shop at online book outlets. We’ve put together some direct sale links that we hope add up to cheaper prices while helping the proceeds get directly to the author and to the charities the books help support.
A portion of the proceeds from all of Faye’s children’s books is donated to non-profit animal rescue organizations, and a portion of the proceeds from the sales of Toys at Night is donated to a number of charitable causes in Ukraine and the U.K.
This is the book that started it all! Little White: The Feral Cat Who Found a Home is the first of the three books in the Stray Cat Stories children’s book series. Based on the true story of the rescue of the beloved feral cat Little White, this book has charmed children aged 3-8 (and all the way up to 100!) since its debut, teaching about compassion for stray and feral cats and other animals.

Book 2 in the Stray Cat Stories children’s book series tells the rescue story of Little White’s best indoor friend, Tribbs.

Frazier: The Very Special Cat, Book 3 in the Stray Cat Stories Children’s Book series, tells the true story of a big burly boy rescued off the streets of Waltham Massachusetts.
