Product Description:
Charles M. Schulz and his beloved comic strip, Peanuts, have changed the world. In Security Blankets, Fraser and Bang present a heartwarming collection of 51 touching true stories to show the connection people have with the adored cartoon. Stories, photos from the contributors, and Peanuts artwork make this work extra special. The connections are so strong they've even had the power to change people's lives.
Take, for example, the Vietnam POW; whose first piece of correspondence while in captivity was a Snoopy card that included a picture of his wife and children. Or the 5-year-old boy from Boston who demanded that his stuffed Snoopy accompany him to the hospital for a high-risk surgery. Connections such as these show how Peanuts has become a security blanket for thousands.
This is chicken soup for the Peanuts lover's soul.
Excerpt from the book:
"But what made this drawing different was the unique "countdown calendar" that my father had drawn on Snoopy's belly. Each square on the calendar, which my sisters and I would cross out, meant that our dad was one day closer to coming home. Every time a square was marked off that drawing, Snoopy brought a bit of happiness and security to a war-weary and scared ten-year-old girl who desperately missed her Daddy.
Did Snoopy help bring my father safely home from the Vietnam War? Maybe, maybe not. But to this day, whenever I see Snoopy--especially when he's performing his happy dance--my heart is grateful and filled with loving memories of my Dad.

I purchased 14 of these books to have them signed by Don Fraser and Derrick Bang. I signed my own story that is in the book on pages 39-41 for Xmas presents. So, I am a little biased. I am about half-way through and find the stories very enlightening and endearing; even if you aren't a Peanuts' fan.

Well, I'm one of the contributors, so I'm a wee bit biased, but this book is amazing. There are tender, inspiring stories that are so unique, you'll want to savor each one slowly. Charles Schulz touched so many lives with his Peanuts gang, and I'm so glad that these stories have been compiled. I feel honored to have my own Peanuts memory included alongside the stories from all of these wonderful folks.
