New Children’s Book ADVENTURES OF BAY & BREEZY: LOST IN THE ZOO Encourages Children to Dream Big
2024年5月2日 - 12:00AM
When Ashley Nelly and Sarah Smith started out as co-workers in
corporate America, little did they know a friendly rivalry over
cats vs. dogs would spark an idea for a book. With Nelly’s own
beloved dogs serving as the inspiration, Nelly and Smith teamed up
to collaborate using their respective talents. Released in 2021,
“The Adventures of Bay & Breezy: Bringing Breezy Home” became a
top seller in its first week of publication and earned a spot on
the Staff Favorite list in the Spring 2022 issue of “Modern Dog”
magazine. Now, the creative duo is back with another installment,
Lost in the Zoo, in their celebrated series The Adventures of Bay
& Breezy.
Based on the antics of Nelly’s real-life Dudley Labradors Bay
and Breezy, The Adventures of Bay & Breezy: Lost in the Zoo
follows the playful sisters on an outing to the zoo where they meet
and admire the other animals. But as the sun sets on their day of
fun, they return home to wonder whether their adventure was real.
Featuring gorgeous illustrations, the book depicts the importance
of imagination and dreaming, as Bay and Breezy discover just how
far their dreams can take them. “Sarah’s illustrations really set
the book apart,” Nelly says. “They perfectly capture the
mischievous and fun-loving nature of Bay and Breezy, encouraging
little ones to keep dreaming.”
For any dog lover, kids and adults alike, The Adventures of Bay
& Breezy: Lost in the Zoo is available for purchase on
Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
