DETROIT
For most families, dogs and cats are the normal pets, but for author M.J. Abrams and his family, a friendly ferret became an unexpected household companion.
In the new children's book "Chubby Wubbles" M.J. Abrams highlights the importance of pet relationships, responsibility and independence. Based on a story of his family's own ferret, Abrams shares photos of the real Chubby Wubbles to help illustrate the fun-loving and curious nature of ferrets.
"Beyond showcasing the playful and unique world of ferrets, I wanted to touch on important values kids can learn from pets," Abrams said. "As seen with 'Chubby Wubbles,' being curious about the world around us is great, but sometimes we all need help if we run into trouble."
Abrams, who took over caring for the ferret when his son took a new job, has been both an observer and an active participant in pet ownership. He has first-hand experience with the impacts that lifestyle changes and proper care can have on the household animals and their owners.
Abrams hopes that through "Chubby Wubbles" children and adults alike can see the joy an unexpected pet - like a ferret - can bring.
"Chubby Wubbles" has received the Gold Seal of Literary Excellence.
