Big H and Little h Dog by Victoria Smith

Back Cover

Little h Dog is no ordinary dog and Big H is no ordinary owner. What will Big H do to help his little pup's poorly muscles? Where does the Super Vet fit in? And will Little h Dog ever get to chase a ball in the park again?

Meet 'Big H' and 'Little h Dog' in this heartwarming children's story, based on the real life endeavours of a father to save his son from the cruel muscle wasting disease 'Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy'.

The story provides a wonderful opportunity to spark conversations around disability/accessibility/inclusiveness, and that rather than being something to be dreaded, a wheelchair can open up a world of opportunity and adventure for children with a disability.

In real life, 'Little h Dog' is a 14 year old boy called Harrison, but in this story, Harrison is a dog, because research by the charity Harrison's Fund has shown that dogs get more 'click-throughs'

The Author & Illustrator Team

Written by debut children's author Victoria Smith (Harrison's Aunty Vix ), 'Big H and Little h Dog' includes 32 pages of delightful hand-drawn, hand-water coloured all-original illustrations by the debut book illustrator 'Sketchy La Rue'; his humourous style and characterisation oozes from every page. More children's books from this dynamic duo are in the making -)

For Charity

100% of profit from book sales will be donated to Harrison's Fund, a charity on a mission to get as much money as possible into the hands of the world's best researchers, who are working hard to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Smith, Victoria: - Victoria Smith is a marketing executive who gave up her comfortable American life for the romantic adventure of moving to Tuscany with her husband. Typically undaunted -- one of the first women in marketing at Procter & Gamble in the early 1970s, mega-agency advertising executive in the 1980s, single mom for over a decade -- Victoria's confidence was rocked by the hurdles of actually living in a foreign culture. Today, she and her husband are fully engaged in their hilltown community, zip up narrow steep roads, press their own olive oil, host friends and family, and are inspired every day by Italy's dolce vita. Victoria continues her writing and work with local and global entities and returns to the USA to enjoy time with their kids and grandkids.
