Why these Stories Matter
Stories should comfort as much as they delight. Each book offers warmth and a safe space where children can explore feelings that are sometimes hard to put into words.
Through these furry friends, young readers discover that bravery can be quiet, love can last forever, and every child is perfect just the way they are.
These stories aren’t just about dogs; they’re about the heart of childhood itself – the laughter, the tears, and the magical in-between moments that shape who we become.
About the Author
I am Pascale Hodge, BSc (Hons), MBPsS – a writer with a passion for stories and a deep interest in child psychology, exploring how tales can inspire, comfort, and connect us.
I believe the best teachers don’t always stand at the front of a classroom. Sometimes they wag their tails, leave muddy pawprints around, and remind you that every day holds a little adventure.
With a degree in psychology, I’m fascinated by how children learn, feel, and grow. My picture books blend playful storytelling with gentle psychological insights, giving young readers imaginative ways to explore big emotions.
Every story I write begins with a dog. Why? Because I believe dogs have a special way of teaching patience, kindness, loyalty, bravery, forgiveness and of course, the simple joy of a tasty treat.
At home in Surrey, I live with my husband Guy and three dogs: Cookie, Nessie, and Kobe. They are my constant companions and occasional chaos creators. Between chasing squirrels, barking at delivery vans, and stealing socks, they’re also hard at work as my unofficial “editorial team”.
When I am not writing or researching, you will find me playing fetch in the garden with my dogs, or wandering the Surrey countryside, dreaming up new journeys where tails wag, hearts grow braver, and every ending leaves behind a smile.
