As Emily and Shadow face the mystery and potential perils of the forest, young readers are invited to join their journey—a journey that underscores the importance of caution, trust, and bravery, while showcasing the power of a loving friendship.
The A Safe Place series was created to offer children a blend of engaging animal-centered stories, learning, and adventure. As each tale unfolds, characters such as Emily and Shadow demonstrate how to navigate life's challenges and find safe havens—both literally and figuratively.
William Nemon Heard shared his motivation for creating this cherished installment: “Emily and Shadow were inspired by my sisters-in-law’s real-life dogs. Though they’ve never met, I’ve imagined them as best friends exploring life and having adventures together. It felt right to honor their playful spirits through this story. Every book in the A Safe Place series carries a message of hope, resilience, and community.”

A graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, Heard has dedicated his career to sacred arts, pastoral care, and creating engaging educational content. His stories reflect a passion for nurturing imaginative minds and meaningful character development.
In addition to A Safe Place for Emily & Shadow, Heard is the author of A Safe Place for Bailey Beetle and is currently preparing the release of A Safe Place for Chrissy Crab.

Each story in the A Safe Place series introduces young readers to relatable characters who face challenges and learn valuable lessons about relationships, boundaries, crisis recovery, and hope.
