Meet “Jack”, Our Favorite Darien Golden Retriever

From time to time I like to take a break from writing about real estate to talk about some of the things that make our town of Darien,Ct special.Our residents love it here so much they even write books about it.The latest offering is the unique and absolutely charming “Our Place,Darien.” This is a children’s book aimed at getting kids familiar with all the historical ,cultural and physical beauty of Darien,CT.

This is all done through the playful yet intelligent eyes of a Golden Retriever named,”Jack”. He is, as it happens, one smart pooch.He knows for example ,that the Siwanoy Indians were the first claim real estate (I just had to work that in) in Darien  and that the town was named after the Isthmus of Darien in Panama.

He takes us through downtown, to the park and to the beach, where he observes the  shoreline environments including all manner of flora and fauna and wildlife.

This is a must read for new residents coming to town with little ones! Absolutely delightful and a great addition to any child’s library!

Check out the website and get a copy for the kids.http://www.ourplacebooks.com
