Peoria author publishes new children’s book
‘I Love Garbage Trucks’ draws from her Patty Domas Fusco’s own grandson
Posted
A new children’s book from a Peoria author is available now.
Patty Domas Fusco, who has nine grandchildren, which started her love of children’s books, has written “I Love Garbage Trucks.” The book was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Come along with Ricky to the most exciting part of the morning — watching the garbage truck come by,” a news release from the publisher sums up of the storyline. “Read about how the garbage man Gus keeps the street looking clean and beautiful with his big garbage truck. Then, use the blank coloring pages in the back to really bring the story to life.”
“I Love Garbage Trucks” is based on Ms. Fusco’s grandson Ricky who loves garbage trucks. This is Ms. Fusco’s first book in a children’s series.
