Author Blade Kotelly transforms a real-life puppy rescue into a powerful narrative with the upcoming children's book "Is This My Home? A Puppy's Journey", set for release on July 22, 2025. The book, published by Snowy Nose Press, follows Timber's quest to find his true home, offering a deeply emotional exploration of belonging that transcends age boundaries.
Told from Timber's perspective, the book goes beyond a traditional children's story by addressing universal themes of courage, resilience, and self-discovery. By presenting complex emotional concepts through a puppy's journey, Kotelly creates an accessible narrative that speaks to both children learning about the world and adults navigating personal challenges.
The book distinguishes itself through its authenticity, being based on a genuine rescue story and providing supplementary guides for parents and educators. These resources aim to facilitate meaningful conversations about identity, empathy, and emotional growth, transforming the reading experience into an interactive learning opportunity.
With its thoughtful approach to storytelling, "Is This My Home?" represents more than entertainment—it is a nuanced exploration of finding one's place in the world, making it a potentially significant contribution to children's literature that offers deeper psychological insights.
