Maggie Mae’s Corner
Maggie Mae is a very special dog. She was born on October 20, 2007 and came to live with me in January 2008. As one of my students said, “Of course she’d be named for a book.” Because Maggie Mae was so tiny with an outgoing personality, she reminded me of the Maggie in my friend, author Jean van Leeuwen’s book, “Wait for Me,” said Maggie McGee.
Maggie Mae is so beloved in our town that she was featured in the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival mural painted by Sophie Mendelson.
