The Missing Piece

Jethro: The Missing Piece is a heartwarming, rhyming children's story about a little dachshund with a big personality who finds his place in a family that didn't even realize something was missing.

Jethro may not wear a cape, but in his own way, he's a superhero. He's a devoted little watchdog, an expert blanket burrower, a lover of belly scratches, and an exceptionally picky eater. Most of the time, Jethro doesn't bark or sing-he hums. But every once in a while, he surprises everyone by breaking into his hilariously high soprano voice.

At the heart of the story is Jethro's relationship with Delilah. The two become brother and sister, companions, and an inseparable part of the family. Through Jethro's funny habits and lovable personality, children see that being a hero doesn't require a cape-and that sometimes the family member you weren't expecting turns out to be exactly the one you needed.

Written in playful rhyme and designed for colorful illustration, Jethro: The Little Hero Without a Cape celebrates family, belonging, friendship, individuality, and the extraordinary joy pets bring into our lives.

Target audience: Children ages 3-8 and families who love dogs, particularly dachshunds.
