The Adventures of Leo and Enzo is a book of short stories for children ages 7 to 12 that will delight the whole family. It is inspired by the arrival of Leo, a round, bulging-eyed Shitzu, to a home in search of a four-legged love. This home can be any home every reader imagines, including their own.
The book is narrated from Leo's perspective, allowing us to enter his mind and heart, helping us to see the world from the eyes of a little animal. It recounts the stages of Leo's growth at home, the arrival of Enzo, a Bernaisse puppy much bigger than him, and how he understands that he must strengthen his self-confidence to become a good big brother. Each short story has a positive message told through simple, everyday language. The little reader will experience fun adventures with Leo, Enzo, and the other animals that make up the Forest Tribe at home and in the garden outdoors.
The book is a breath of fresh air needed today. It is a reminder that in every home, there are little animals and a bit of nature that can accompany our little readers as they dream and grow.
The Adventures of Leo and Enzo help children:
- Accept themselves by gaining self-confidence and appreciating themselves as they are.
- Learn that there are others who are different from them, who deserve respect and have value for who they are.
- Set limits and talk to others.
- To understand that fear is normal and that it is important not to let it paralyze us.
- Animals are living beings with feelings that communicate and deserve respect, care, and love.
