Everything You Could Want in a Children's Book I'm so excited to share this book with my daughter as we have a dog that looks just like Rylee! The rhyming story is super cute with a heartwarming message. The illustrations are just perfect-- vibrant colors, adorable animals, and fun details to find and point out. I'm so impressed with this author/illustrator. We'll be reading this book for years to come. Great read aloud, one of our family favorites! My kids adore this book and especially love pointing out all the pets and their humorous expressions. I think all three of them have brought it into school for show and tell at this point. As a parent I love the flowing rhymes, the book's messages and themes and that there's lots of things for us to talk about on each page. We have gifted this book several times and always heard how much it is enjoyed. Highly recommend! The absolute cutest book! We LOVED Rylee Finds a Family! It's absolutely adorable. The illustrations are perfect and the story is heartwarming. The cute rhyming verses are easy to read and to read aloud. It's a perfect gift for kids (and adults) of all ages! Beautiful book about family Beautifully illustrated colorful children's book that shares the message that families come in all shapes and sizes. What a delight to read with the kids. Especially fun finding Peachy on every page. Cute and colorful story! Both my kids love this story! The pages are so colorful and we love searching for all of the animals. I can't wait to read this to my daughter's class! Beautiful story and illustrations that kids will love Rylee Finds A Family helps introduce young children to topics such as uncertainty, bravery, and friendship/family. My children have enjoyed following Rylee throughout the story, helping her search for a family by locating hidden characters within the colorful illustrations. The story culminates with a wonderful message between the lines that while others you meet may be different from you, everyone can still be a friend or part of a family, despite any differences on the outside. I have loved reading this with my children to help them pick up on traits such as courage, kindness, and friendship. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute story to read with young children. A must have for your little ones! I'm very excited to see that the world has access to this story! This has been in the night time rotation for both my children for the past 6 and 2.5 years. It's a very cute short story of an animal family coming together despite their differences. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging. It's a great book for a young one learning to read as well! Cute, colorful and fun! My daughter (9 months) and the kids I nanny for (2-4) absolutely LOVE this book! It has wonderfully colorful illustrations and it's a really cute, fun story. All of the animals are adorable. I'm lucky enough to have an original copy but can't wait for the new edition to arrive soon. We just love this story! We have an original version from this author and can't wait to get the new updated one. Such a sweet story with lots of wonderful animal friends, Great illustrations by the author and a heartwarming message about family and friendship. All the good feels... Such a fun book for kids! My daughter absolutely loves the story and the pictures. Such a great story with a lovely message! Highly recommend!

Author Information

"Author-Illustrator Jillian Lee lives with her family and two dogs on the Connecticut shoreline and has a passion for training and development and all things creative. Her debut book, ""Rylee Finds a Family: a happy puppy tale,"" is a 2022 Tassy Walden Awards Finalist for New Voices in Children's Literature. Rylee Finds a Family was inspired by her family's childhood pets who were known to snuggle up together and included a lovebird, rescue cat, rescue green-winged macaw, too many fish to count, and Rylee, an Irish Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This book was in the works for over a decade, but amazing feedback from kids of all ages, a health scare for her dog Rylee, and an opportunity to be a mystery reader in her 1st grader's classroom, all helped to get this book over the finish line!
