The Spy Game: Spotlight


 
Author & Illustrator J.D. Holiday joins the 2013 World of Ink Virtual Tour

The World of Ink Network will be touring author and illustrator J.D. Holiday's children's
read along picture book, The Spy Game throughout January 2013.

What happens when you end up with a dog you don’t want and only stares? 
 
About the Book:
Eddie would love to have a puppy to play with. A puppy would pull on a rope. Catch a
ball and lick your face. But his Uncle brings Eddie an older dog named after a famous spy. What can you do with an old dog? It probably couldn't learn new tricks and the only thing this dog did was stare. It's what they find to do together that makes them the best of friends!

Inspiration Behind The Spy Game

             This story is based on a puppy my brother, Ike's dog, Sheeba had. He ask me to take this puppy he named, Sidney Reilly after a spy series he and I watched together and loved.  At the time I had a dog and didn't think my older dog, Snoopy would be happy with a new addition.
            My brother said okay, but he felt sure this dog was for me and he kept it with that in mind.
When the puppy was 11 months old, my brother, Ike died of a heart attack and Sidney came to me,
I was wrong. Snoopy and Sidney got along in their own way. 
           
Though this did not happen in real live, in The Spy Game I have my brother bring Sidney to my house to live.
