Seppe and the Doggie Duo
Poet and memoirist Diana Raab and her granddaughter, Lila del Valle, announce the publication of Seppe and the Doggie Duo: The Adventures of Seppe and Friends, a children's book they co-wrote.
The story follows three lovable dogs, Seppe, Rumi, and Pepper, as they set out on their very first adventure together. Along the way, the three dogs stumble through playful mishaps, uncover hidden treasures, and go out of their way to brighten the day for others in need. Filled with humor, kindness, and teamwork, the book shows young readers the joy of exploring and celebrates how differences can bring friends closer. It is a natural fit for animal lovers, early readers, families, teachers, and librarians.
A Story Written Across Generations
“Collaborating on this book with Lila has been one of my greatest joys. She brought the playfulness and ideas, and together we built a world where kindness and friendship always win. She was so much fun to work with,” said Raab.
“I had the idea to write this book because my grandmother is a writer, and we both love dogs. I can't wait for everybody to read it,” said del Valle.
