Papito and the Golden
Written by Racy Haddad; Illustrated by Rose Freeland
A Children’s Book Collection in English and Spanish
Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! My name is Racy Haddad, and I am the author of the children’s book, Papito and the Golden. This book features the story of how Papito and his Golden instantly became best pals. I hope you will smile and laugh as you read along and recognize that kind and loving Golden spirit looking back at you!
A Story Close to the Heart
My inspiration for this book collection came from watching my grandson Christian (“Papito”) light up the frolicking lives of his three golden retrievers, Sam, Maverick, and Luna. The names “Papito” and “Papi” are terms of endearment often used in the Mexican culture to describe one’s “little sweetheart.”
Available in English and Spanish
I am happy to have published a Spanish version of Papito and the Golden, Papito y El Dorado. I hope this book can be a reading tool for young children and their parents. In addition, this serves as a tribute to the rich Mexican culture that I myself grew up with in my beloved El Paso Texas!
Friendship Is Golden
"Soon Papito realized that the Golden was very, very smart and almost like a real person. Papito began to love the Golden and the Golden loved Papito back. Papito wanted the Golden to be his best friend forever… and so he was."
-Racy Haddad
