Books with author Margaret Calhoun

Katie is now in the sixth grade, and things are changing too fast for her. The girls seem to like boys, lipstick and movie actors, much to her disgust. Katie tries to deal with this by rebelling and ends up a pariah for a while. Highly imaginative, she finds an old house on one of her solitary hikes, and a picture of a young girl she decides was named Etta. Comforted, she relies on this image for a while to figure how and where she fits in at school and home.

Tilly is a dog who believes she’s nothing but an ordinary mutt, because that’s what people have told her. Her life changes dramatically one rainy day, when an elderly woman named Florence rescues her from the streets. Florence teaches Tilly about all of the special qualities she possesses, convincing her that she is far more than just a mutt. When Tilly becomes a therapy dog in a children’s hospital, she soon realizes that everyone she encounters possesses those same special qualities. Told through the eyes of a dog, I KNOW MY NAME IS LOVE is about recognizing the extraordinary traits that reside within everyone.
