About the Author
Heather Worthington, a native Long Islander, grew up in Huntington, NY, and now lives with her husband and two children on Long Island's North Fork. Besides being a writer, she has worked as a teacher and a journalist. She received her B.A. in History from the University of New Hampshire and her M.S. in Special Education from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY. When not on Long Island, she sometimes can be found hiking, paddling, or skiing in Maine--the place her Labrador Retriever likes traveling to most. This is her first children's book.
From the Inside Flap
"This is a terrific, heartwarming story for children and adults. This delightful book recalls the tale of how LIRR employees of 100 years ago adopted Roxey and made him part of our rich history. The humanity and dedication shown to Roxey are traits that continue to shine brightly today among our employees and customers. I know you will enjoy reading about Roxey's exploits on the LIRR and sharing the wonderful Bill Farnsworth illustrations in this book with your family. We hope Roxey's story will inspire excitement about train travel among a whole new generation of LIRR customers." --Helena E. Williams, President MTA Long Island Rail Road
