Peter Valdez III and his wife, Tasche Laine (a multi-genre author), collaborated on their first children’s book, Get Up, Lil Peter. Get Up!, to pay tribute to Peter’s grandfather. The oldest of 29 grandchildren, Peter was nicknamed ‘Lil Peter’ to differentiate him from his father and grandfather. Each story in the series is told with a message or lesson that impacted Peter’s life as a child, and grounded him as an adult.
Peter was born and raised in and around the Los Angeles area, in California. He currently resides in the Pacific Northwest with Tasche and their dogs, Cody and Story. He still enjoys playing soccer every chance he gets.

First, I want to thank Peter Valdez, Tasche Laine, Mei Mei Lenord and Skye Blue Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Writing duo Peter Valdez and Tasche Laine are back with another installment of their adorable series Lil Peter! With the help of the amazing illustrations you can't help but smile ear to ear reading Small Things Lil Peter Makes A Big Difference. It is the sweetest book within their series that dog owners/lovers will appreciate!
Tasche would like to dedicate this book to her sister Bridget who volunteers with the Northwest German Shepherd Rescue. Also, she would like to dedicate this book to her good friend Jas List who runs the OC Pom Rescue.
Out of all the books that Tasche and Peter have done in the Lil Peter series I would have to say this one is my favorite. What kid doesn’t like dogs right?! You could tell that Tasche and Peter did their research as this book was very educational. They were teaching the kids some very valuable lessons.
Mei Mei had me cracking up laughing at some of her scenes with Lil Peter and the dogs! She showed us just how hard it is to actually take care of a dog. I was very impressed how life like the dogs actually looked. I have said it before and I will say it again she has talent!
I loved how at the end of the book there are some reference materials on fostering and reducing dogs. There are also some fun activities that the kids can participate in.
Rachel is a respected doctor who lives in a picturesque and affluent English village where her husband Nathan teaches at an elite private school. Competent, unflappable, and nearing 50, Rachel has everything in her life firmly in her control, even if some of its early luster has worn off. But one day a new patient arrives at her practice for emergency treatment. Luc is a French painter married to a wealthy American woman who’s just bought and restored a historic home on the edge of Rachel’s posh neighborhood. The couple has only recently arrived, but Luc is struggling with a mental disorder, and so he goes to the nearest clinic…to Rachel.
As an archivist at Charleston’s Black history museum, Marcus shines a light on the stories of forgotten people. Researching history is better than dealing with his own heartache—and the guilt he has over the role he may have inadvertently played in the death of Jaslene’s sister.
