Overview
Hippos are famous for fighting and biting. But Kuno the hippo is unique. He refuses to fight even though he always gets teased. ""The Hippo Who Hated To Fight"" is the sweet, fun, inspiring story of a hippo brave enough to be himself. Kuno leaves his family and friends to search for the love, kindness, and acceptance he is missing. Colorful and creatively illustrated and written for kids ages 4-9, it teaches them fun facts about hippos and elephants and that it's cool to be different-you just need to find your herd.

This tale beautifully illustrates the importance of kindness, respect, and acceptance, regardless of our differences."" - Kameron Brook ""My kindergarten class loved this book!

Author Information
A former copywriter at top New York City advertising agencies, Milt Lowe has won over 60 major awards. Including both Gold and Silver Lions at the TV Cannes Film Festival. In a Writer's Digest competition, Milt won an award in their Personal Essay category. He's also written humor pieces for The New York Daily News and Advertising Age. Famed cartoon artist Charles Schulz read a hockey article Milt had written and wrote him a letter-complete with a Snoopy doodle-that Milt framed and hung over his desk. When Judge Judy Sheindlin - whose show draws an average audience of about 10 million viewers a day - wrote her first children's book, she called Milt and asked him to write the title: WIN OR LOSE BY HOW YOU CHOOSE! Her point was to teach children that the choices they make as kids will determine the adults they become.Milt has written four children's books, available internationally: The Hippo Who Hated To Fight, My ANT Mary, Fartasaurus, and Milo and the Big Yawn. His middle-grade book, Wow Bow, the Dog Who Barked Backwards, and a new children's book, Dogg, the Cat are currently in production. They are scheduled to be released in Fall 2024. ""Love and gratitude is pretty much the answer to all of today's drama..."" It's not always easy to remember, but certainly what inspires Stephen Bibb's art and illustration style.Stephen's journey as a creator of fine airbrush mural and canvas art, unfettered by conventional thinking, eventually expanded into illustrating children's books with the goal of creating something full of wonder. Known for his colorful and realistic artwork relating to surfing and his ocean lifestyle in South Africa, Stephen was blessed to also live a very different lifestyle out in the wild, as well. His art reflects this experience, too, making him the perfect illustrator for a book about hippos and elephants.
