Be one of the first to read The Odd Dog, a beautifully illustrated children’s book about a rescue dog learning to live with a family for the first time. Inspired by my own rescue, Layla, The Odd Dog is dedicated to all the rescues who have found where they belonged.

Let me read the story!

Praise for The Odd Dog

This is an adorably touching book. My daughter read it to us last night and we are in love. If you haven’t gotten your copy of The Odd Dog, you need to!

Praise for The Goldilocks Quartet

I’ll be the first to admit that I probably get too wrapped up in fairy tales and that I am a classical music lover, but the beautiful line at the end of The Goldilocks Quartet made me so emotional that I shed a happy tear! It’s a must-have for parents hoping to cultivate musical awareness in their little ones!

I’m Leia Barrett, and I love to tell stories that make a difference.

As a former nonprofit leader, I knew that when I started my own publishing business, I wanted to have a purpose. As a passionate advocate for rescue dogs, I wanted to create stories that are entertaining and educational. I also knew that giving back to my community was non-negotiable. That’s why a portion of all sales goes to rescues and shelters. Love the books but don’t have kids? I always offer a ‘donate’ option where you can designate a book to a shelter, rescue, or child in need. Together, we can normalize pet adoption for young families and help shelters and rescues with their incredible work.
