How Gims Found His Family is here and we're celebrating the biggest birthday of the year
April 19, 2026.
Gims' third birthday. And the day How Gims Found His Family, the first book in the Gims & Friends series, officially arrives in the world.
We have been working toward this day for a long time. And now that it's here, we want to celebrate with the people who made it possible: the parents, the educators, the grandparents, the aunts and uncles, and every single person who stopped to watch a wiggly bulldog on social media and thought, yes, I need more of this.
You do. And now you have it.
How Gims Found His Family is a true story, told in Gims' own voice, with all the humor and heart you'd expect from an English Bulldog who takes himself very seriously. It's the story of how he found his place in a household that already had its own rules, made an unlikely best friend, and discovered that family isn't something you're handed, it's something you find. For readers ages 3–7. Perfect for read-alouds, classrooms, and any child who has ever felt like the new kid.
