Children’s Book “My Dog Hank” Tells a Family Dog Story Through a Kid’s Eyes
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Jason Grove has published a new children’s book, "My Dog Hank," told from the perspective of a child narrating life with the family dog. The book is out now through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story is narrated by Hank’s young owner, who describes a dog that’s "always up to something" and who has become central to the family’s daily life, according to the book’s description. The narrator reflects that Hank sometimes causes disagreements between Mommy and Daddy, but has been part of the family for as long as the child can remember, concluding that everybody should have a dog like him.
Drawing on his background as a family storyteller, Grove crafted this narrative based on years of entertaining his own children. "I wanted to share the adventures that make our family life so vibrant and entertaining," Grove said in a statement. "Hank isn’t just a pet; he’s a character in our everyday story, and I’m thrilled to introduce him to readers everywhere."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of companionship and family dynamics as seen through a child’s point of view. Readers can find the book at major retailers including Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble, plus direct from Christian Faith Publishing.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the appeal of a story like this one is in the voice: a dog book narrated by a kid rather than about one tends to land differently with young readers, and that’s the detail worth watching for in how it’s received.

Children’s Book “My Dog Hank” Tells a Family’s Story Through a Kid’s-Eye View of Their Dog
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Jason Grove has released "My Dog Hank," a children’s picture book narrated from a child’s point of view about life with a family dog who’s, as the opening line puts it, always up to something. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.
According to the Google Books listing, the story is told in the kid’s own voice, cataloguing Hank’s antics, the occasional disagreements he causes between Mommy and Daddy, and the simple fact that he’s been part of the family for as long as the young narrator can remember. The book is categorized as juvenile fiction.
Having entertained his own children with imaginative tales for years, Grove sought to capture that family dynamic in written form. "I wanted to share the adventures that make our family life so vibrant and entertaining," he said. "Hank isn’t just a pet; he’s a character in our everyday story, and I’m thrilled to introduce him to readers everywhere." The publisher describes the book as centered on companionship and the bond between a child and a pet, with Hank framed as a dog any kid would be lucky to have.
"My Dog Hank" is available in paperback and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees a familiar but durable formula here: the family pet as supporting character in a child’s narration. Books built around that premise tend to find their audience less through marketing than through parents reading them aloud more than once.

Three Oklahoma Ranch Sisters Publish Cookbook Pairing Family Recipes with Scripture
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
A cookbook about feeding cowboys on a southwest Oklahoma cattle ranch has been published by three sisters who grew up with that work. "Grub and Grace: A Ranch Family Cookbook," written by Kealey Turner, Kylie McClusky, and Kynlee Waters, is now available in paperback, running 122 pages, through Christian Faith Publishing.
The three are daughters of Eric and Chy Waters, founders of Waters Cattle Co., and according to the authors, they learned to cook out of necessity: feeding ranch hands during the demanding stretches of branding and shipping season. The book draws directly on that experience, pairing family recipes with Scripture and short anecdotes about life in a working ranch household.
Each sister brought a different role to the project, the announcement states. Kealey, the eldest, focuses on baking and homemaking. Kylie, the middle sister and an Oklahoma State University graduate who runs two small businesses, handled the photography throughout the book. Kynlee, the youngest, contributes her background in ranch work and outdoor life. The authors stated together, "We wanted to create something that truly reflects who we are as a family", adding that they hope readers will use the book to "cook together, laugh together, and grow closer to God."
The publisher describes the project as pairing practical, usable recipes with the family’s faith and ranching background rather than functioning as a standard recipe collection. "Grub and Grace" is available through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Christian Faith Publishing.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-and-lifestyle titles reaching readers outside the traditional publishing pipeline, and it’s worth watching whether family-driven projects like this one find an audience beyond their immediate community.
