Ilene Fine created Brandy and Val books serendipitously. She was inspired to create them for a friend’s child who lives far away from her and the dogs and is afflicted with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Since she could not take them for a visit, this was her way of bringing Brandy and Val to him. Ilene has been tutor/mentoring inner city youths and adults for over 20 years and is also involved with promoting literacy in both adults and children. Along with Brandy and Val, she participates in pet therapy programs working in schools and in libraries. Her entreprenurial spirit has guided her to this new and challenging career path. The mission of Brandy and Val, LLC, is "to do good where good is needed" and it is through the sales of her books, appearances and pet therapy duties that she hopes to spread the word and support causes that have a positive impact on animal welfare and the lives of children. In her spare time, she enjoys making functional pottery.
