How Gims Found His Family (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798994095737)

He waited. He wished. And then... footsteps.

Gims is an English Bulldog with a big heart and an even bigger hope: that someday, someone will come. When a boy and his mom push through the gate and read the sign out loud, "Free English Bulldog," Gims does the bravest thing he has ever done. He dashes straight into the boy's arms. No thinking. No waiting. Just home.

But settling in turns out to be a little more exciting than he expected. Cousin Benny is full of rules and ready to show him everything, all at once. And Aunt Luna? Nana says she is a cat, but Gims is pretty sure she is royalty. There are zoomies that should not have happened, a shoe that definitely should not have been stolen, and a chair that is absolutely by invitation only.

It is a lot for one bulldog's first day.

But one night, the boy wraps him in a hug. Benny curls up beside him. And Luna makes room on her chair. Gims lets out the biggest sigh he has ever sighed.

His wishing is done.

Warm, funny, and full of heart, How Gims Found His Family is a story about waiting to belong and the glorious, wiggly, chaotic joy of finally getting there. Inspired by a real English Bulldog named Gimli, this is Book 1 of the Gims and Friends series. More friends. More adventures. And definitely more tug-of-war.

Perfect for readers ages 3 to 8, and for anyone who has ever needed to hear: you are home.
