Samantha Bertish, creator and IP owner of Zuma the Dog, has announced the release of her first children’s chapter book, Zuma and the Jack Pack.

The debut book is the first in a series targeting ages 8 to 12 years. Within the novels, the growing brand will address key issues. These include conflict resolution, acceptance of diversity and breaking down traditional stereotypes.

They will also teach about equality and consent as well as covering bullying, creating healthy relationships and raising self-esteem in young people.

Zuma and the Jack Pack by Samantha Bertish is available to buy from all good book retailers and online.

Commenting is Samantha Bertish. “This story was born out of real-life experience and the willingness to help others navigate through life’s difficult times. If I can help and inspire just one person, then my job is done.”
