The Dodo Launches New Series of Books with “A Kids Co.”

The Dodo, the #1 global digital publisher for pet and animal content, announced a new book series in partnership with A Kids Co., the brand that is making media for the next generation of world-changing kids. The series is designed to kickstart challenging, empowering and important conversations for kids, with books including Adopting a Pet, Caring for a Pet, and Saying Goodbye to a Pet.

“Kids and their pets love each other more than anything, and there are so many life lessons to be learned from growing up with a pet,” said Katy Brink, executive editor at The Dodo. “We’re happy to partner with A Kids Co. to help kids get excited about pet adoption and make this relationship the very best it can be.”

Each book in the series provides kids with all the information they need as their family welcomes and grows with a pet. Teaching kids about pet adoption will encourage them to play a more active role in selecting a pet, and more importantly, develop empathy. Kids can play an integral role in caring for their furry (or not-so-furry) friend, and the responsibility not only helps them grow, but makes their bond with the pet so much stronger. Lastly, saying goodbye to a pet is emotional, but encouraging kids to talk about how they’re feeling and intentionally remembering what they loved about their pet can help them process and cope with loss.

“Every book we make is designed to speak to something kids think and feel deeply about,” said Jelani Memory, founder & CEO at A Kids Co. “The Dodo is a one of a kind brand that truly gets the magical relationship kids have with their pets and how important they truly are to one another.”

“A Kids Book About Caring for a Pet,” “A Kids Book About Adopting a Pet,” and “A Kids Book About Saying Goodbye to a Pet,” are available online today at Amazon and akidsco.com
