Ocean Pines Boy Authors First Children’s Book

OCEAN PINES – A 12-year-old boy from Ocean Pines has written and published his first children’s book.

Benjamin Brunori, author of “The Great Cat Sled Race,” takes readers through the adventures of a Chesapeake Bay retriever named Stormy and her journey to compete in a dog sled race using her five cats.

“It’s about my dog Stormy,” Brunori said. “She wants to prove that cats in the world can be used in sled races, too.”

The young author said inspiration for the book came from childhood memories of reading bedtime stories with his mother.

“Whenever I went to see my mom, we would always read before bed,” he said. “And I thought this would be a good book to do that.”
