Chachi

Chachi is a very special little dog, he has black/grey curly hair, white paws and a very fluffy bottom! He has been in my family since before I was even born. Chachi came into my family when my mummy and daddy lived in Australia, they flew him to England on a plane when they moved because they say, “a dog is for life no matter what” – and I must agree because I love Chachi too, even if he is very naughty! Chachi is not always bad though, he always protects me, even from big dogs and he is especially good at being a secret dog!

Following on from the first book Marshmallow – join Isabelle again to meet her very cheeky little black and white dog Chachi, in this true story about her very kind but mischievous fur baby that loves nothing more than to steal socks, chew knickers and eat poo!

Growing up in Bournemouth, Dorset, Jules had three cats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and a rabbit, most of which lived in her bedroom! As a child Jules wrote short stories about her pets and spent hours drawing and painting them. Now a mother to her daughter Isabelle, Jules wrote and illustrated stories for her daughter during the first lockdown about their furry family members, Marshmallow the rabbit and their dogs, Chachi and Alfie. With the libraries closed during the lockdown, she felt her daughter, who was five at the time and who had just started to learn to read, needed new reading books she could relate to and would find funny during a difficult time.
