SIRIUS, THE HERO DOG OF 9/11 - A Children's Book by Hank Fellows

While speaking to students and teachers across America about September 11, 2001, and performing his 9/11 songs for them, Hank Fellows realized the need for a children's book that would explain this national tragedy in a way that would engage elementary and middle-school children. The result is "SIRIUS, THE HERO DOG OF 9/11". This 39-page soft-cover book, illustrated with 20 color child-friendly photographs, tells the true story of "Sirius", a police patrol dog who died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. This book also contains a personal letter from Lieutenant David Lim, the police officer who patrolled with "Sirius," a personal letter from Hank Fellows, and the sheet music for Hank's song "The Spirit of America."
