Wow! Here it is! @Msassyk and I are thrilled to finally share with you the cover to the first book in our brand new middle grade graphic novel series—PAWS!

And here's a look at the full wrap art that Michele and I did for the cover! (In full resolution, in case you feel like changing up the old wallpaper on your desktop 😉)

PAWS is the story of Mindy Kim, Gabby Jordan, and Priya Gupta: best friends who are different in just about every way but one—they absolutely love animals, and, for reasons that are as varied as the trio themselves, none of them can actually have any pets.

After hatching a desperate plan to get their hands on some furry friends, they eventually discover that their neighborhood is in need of some afterschool dog-walkers. So, just like that, PAWS is born!

But running a business is hard, especially with three co-owners who are SO different. The girls soon argue about everything, and when their fighting leads to a doggo crisis, will it tear their business and friendship apart or will they be able to get it together to save the day?

Michele and I have been having the time of our lives creating these books and cannot wait to share the adventures of Mindy, Gabby, Priya, Pickles, Scraps, Corporal Wags and the rest of the gang with you and your little ones! We hope you'll join us for the ride! 🐾♥️♥️♥️🐾

Oh, yeah! Since PAWS is proudly made and set in Canada and funded in part by a generous grant from @CanadaCouncil, I should definitely include a link for my fellow Canucks to order from! 🇨🇦 penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/671275/p…

There is an *outstanding* Shop Local button on the Penguin link in the tweet above, btw. I simply plugged in my postal code and was immediately given a pre-order link at the Book Warehouse just down the street from my house: bookmanager.com/7604459/?searc…
