A Frenchie Tail: Different is Beautiful

A Frenchie Tail teaches our youth to love their differences as they make them beautiful. Using inspiration from REAL French Bulldogs and Hooman's with injury, disease, or defect, the author creates a story of love, friendship, fun, inclusion, and overcoming life's obstacles. When French Bulldog puppy Loki arrives in her "Furever" home, all is well until she meets the cranky bully, Chucky the Chihuahua. As Loki was born without a tail, Chucky makes fun of her and refuses to play with her because she is different. Baby Loki cries herself to sleep and is visited in a dream by a bowtie-wearing, three-legged Frenchie named Texas. Texas tells baby Loki he is sending her a friend to take her on a road trip to meet Frenchies different just like her. Arriving in a 1965 Shelby Cobra, "Mochi" takes Loki down old Route 66, stopping to introduce her to other Frenchies who people think are different. Baby Emma has one eye, Dumpling is obese, and Ralphie and Zeus run away from home because bullies make fun of their appearance. Picking up friends along the way, the silly Frenchies meet Walter the Frenchie, a service dog for the beautiful and amazing Christa who gathers the pups around for a talk of hope and inspiration from her wheelchair. Written by best-selling and award-winning author Sean E. Reavie (who is Loki's Hooman) and illustrated by award-winning illustrator Lori Pacchiano (Texas' Hooman), a Frenchie Tail is a must-read for kids suffering taunts and name-calling from bullies because they are, "different." Lori creates a beautiful world with three-dimensional renderings of the dogs. Sean spins an epic poem about love, friendship, and inner beauty that resonates with children, pre-teens, and adults. The ending will bring a tear to your eye as all the puppies gather for a playdate only to be interrupted by a regretful Chucky. "A Frenchie Tail" is different. Unique in the fact that the story is told using all real dogs and people with whom you can't help loving and wanting to share this beautiful tale of inclusion and hope.
