Tizzy & Me
Red Deer Press (2024)
Red Deer's first Early Chapter Book, TIZZY AND ME: FIFTEEN WAYS TO LOVE A MINK is a funny, endearing, and page-turning story of friendship and learning how to stand up for what you believe in.
On the first snowy day of school, seven-year-old Georgia is upset to discover that her best friend Winona is wearing a coat made with real fur. What comes next is a battle to help her friend understand, and Georgia - with the comforting presence of her dog, Tizzy - must find a way to make things right. As the two girls learn more about animals that live in fur farms, they realize they must stand up for them - but how can they help the minks and make a difference?
This book features black-and-white spot illustrations from acclaimed illustrator Alice Priestley. This is a contemporary "Ramona the Pest" book for today's newly independent readers.
"This early chapter book is delightful: Georgia is an engaging young protagonist with a huge heart, a curious mind, and an impulsive streak that reminded me a little of the wonderful Ramona Quimby. An inspiring story for young readers."
Robin Stevenson, award-winning author
