[JDPUB: 73] new book: I AM CAPTAIN AND I CAN TALK-Karin Brammann

I am Captain

And I can talk! by Karin Brammann is now available from Just Done Productions – Publishing R95.

This children’s book is a lovely story about a Border collie puppy who goes to a new home on a small farm when he is six weeks old.

Captain learns to live with three older dogs, chickens and horses. In his own words, he relates his experiences and the life lessons he learns from them.

All children love animals, and will relate to Captain’s lessons, which apply almost equally to children and puppies.

The aspiring young dog owner will benefit from the related basic principles of responsible nurturing of a puppy, told in the puppy’s own words.

An easy to read, delightful story, told by a bright young dog, which will captivate the young reader.

Suitable for children from 4 - 9 years of age.

Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1958 Karin Brammann was brought up in an austere household without pets. As a young girl she nurtured a dream of life on a ‘beauty farm’ and

owning her own dog. After qualifying and working as a Beauty therapist, Karin later successfully completed a writer’s course at the Axel Andersson Akademie in Hamburg.

Circumstances and the pressures of raising her 2 young sons restricted her storytelling ambitions to hobby writing.

In 1995 Karin emigrated to South Africa and was able to adopt a year old retriever cross, Bo, from the SPCA, and soon thereafter an abandoned boxer puppy she named Alfi. 8 years later, in 2004, she realized the fulfillment of her childhood dream when she moved onto a smallholding, in the hills of KwaZulu Natal, with her fiancé Tony. Losing Bo to cancer the next year, Karin chose her first Border Collie, a female puppy she named Karla.

Karin and Tony were married in 2007, and share their ‘farm’, Tokaridge, with 2 thoroughbred horses, a flock of laying fowls, and of course their 4 dogs. Karin’s experiences with her dogs, and especially

with Captain, the young Border Collie, inspired her to write this book
