Paisley Poodle Finds Courage
Available now (released June 2026)
Paisley Poodle isn't a fan of slippery floors, noisy manhole covers, or shiny red "robots." But when his family invites him on a morning adventure, he learns that courage isn't about being fearless; it's about taking one small step at a time. A tender, lighthearted story about finding bravery in everyday moments, paw by paw.

Paisley Poodle Finds His Style
Available for pre-order now — releases September 22, 2026
Paisley Poodle likes things just the way they are: his routines, his couch, his cotton-white curls. So, when he hears "time for a haircut!" his tail freezes mid-wag. Not the groomer! A car ride, a splashy bath, and worst of all, the buzzing clippers. What if everything feels different afterward? Join Paisley for bubbles, snips, and one nervous peek in the mirror as he discovers that change isn't always scary; sometimes it turns out just right.
