Found: A Potcake Puppy Story

Publishing Spring 2026 | Hardcover | 32 pages

When Nevis the potcake puppy is born, she has no idea what to think.

Where is she? Why can’t she open her eyes? Who are these other tiny creatures with her? She’s even more confused when she’s put in a cardboard box and left in a dark and scary crawlspace with only an older, grumpy dog—Mr. Sunshine—to keep her company. With his help and protection, she learns how to use her star appeal to get food from the nearby humans and evade the other dangerous stray dogs.

One day, her luck changes when she meets the sparkly lady, who finally gives Nevis a bath, a name, and a forever family. In Found, follow the story of one potcake puppy, a mixed breed found on many Caribbean islands, as she finds her way home.
