About The Author
Deborah Peschen
Deborah Peschen is a writer who believes that the love between a person and their pet can change a life forever. Her stories are inspired by her own dogs, Cooper and Mack, whose loyalty, courage, and affection helped her see the world through the eyes of unconditional love. Through her writing, Deborah hopes to bring comfort to families, especially parents guiding young children through moments of loss and healing.
Her debut book, Cooper Sends a Gift, was born from real emotions and memories of the dog who taught her about faith, hope, and resilience. Deborah wrote this story to help children understand that even when someone they love is gone, the bond they shared lives on in their hearts. The message is one of love that continues, and joy that returns in unexpected ways.
Deborah’s gentle storytelling, paired with vivid illustrations, encourages conversations about kindness, compassion, and letting go. Her work is meant to be shared aloud between parents and children, creating moments of reflection and reassurance during times when words are hard to find.
When she isn’t writing, Deborah enjoys quiet moments with her family and her furry friends, who continue to fill her life with laughter and warmth. She finds inspiration in the small gestures of love that remind us how deeply animals touch our hearts.
A Message of Love and Hope
The story of Cooper Sends a Gift began with loss but grew into something full of meaning. When Cooper crossed the rainbow bridge, Deborah’s heart was broken, yet she soon realized that love does not fade. Through that realization came a story of healing.
Deborah believes every pet leaves behind more than memories. They leave lessons in patience, gratitude, and joy. Her hope is that families reading her books will find comfort in knowing that love has no end, and that every goodbye can open the door to a new beginning.
She continues to write with that belief in her heart, creating stories that help children and parents alike discover the healing power of love, one page at a time.
