Kirby of the Serengeti

A Lidog's Tail

Beschreibung

Half dog. Half lion. All heart. Kirby of the Serengeti - A Lidog's Tail is a heart-soaked, visually rich picture book about identity, self-discovery, belonging, and the courage to trust your imagination. Kirby is not just a dog. And he's not just a lion. He's something new - a Lidog, half pit bull, half lion, all heart. For the first time, readers can see this completely original creature brought to life in vivid detail. Through hyper-realistic illustrations, the Lidog is not just an idea, but a being you can meet on the page - a fusion of strength, loyalty, and wonder unlike anything seen before. With Lily, the graceful matriarch, and their four pupcubs - bold Brigo, curious Taela, wise Dahlia, and mysterious Onyx - the Pride Pack shows children what family truly means. Not sameness, but love. Not fitting in, but being fully seen. Together they learn that joy is found in running side by side, storms can be weathered in stillness and safety, and belonging is something you can extend to others - even a lost and trembling zebra who needs a friend. Told through lyrical and cinematic text and paired with hyper-realistic illustrations of Kirby and his Pride Pack on the savanna, this story carries readers on a journey that is both adventurous and tender. Each scene glows with deeper lessons: that dreams often reveal truths before we're ready to walk them, that fear can be faced together, and that imagination isn't escape - it's a way home to yourself. Winner of hearts and praise alike, with early endorsement from Dr. John Otto, DVM ("A great lesson for life!"), Kirby of the Serengeti continues to inspire readers of all ages with its lyrical storytelling and unforgettable message of courage and belonging. Every hero's journey begins with a tail. This is more than a story - it's the debut of a brand-new creature into the world. The Lidog is a one-of-a-kind creation, shown in lifelike detail so children (and adults) can actually see what happens when lion and dog meet in heart, spirit, and form. With its lyrical text and hyper-realistic art, Kirby of the Serengeti - A Lidog's Tail is not only an unforgettable read, but also a keepsake gift book to be treasured for years to come. Available in two editions: a premium hardcover gift edition ($34.99) with ultra-premium color and case laminate binding, and a softcover edition ($21.99) with the same vivid full-color illustrations in a family-friendly format. Half dog. Half lion. All heart.
