{"product_id":"small-paws-big-adventures-the-heartwarming-tales-of-tia-maria-and-corbin","title":"Small Paws, Big Adventures: The Heartwarming Tales of Tia Maria and Corbin","description":"Small Paws, Big Adventures is a charming, beautifully illustrated collection of modern fables inspired by two real-life canine companions, Tia Maria, a brave little Yorkshire Terrier, and Corbin, a fluffy, curious Morkie. Told with warmth and gentle wisdom, these stories celebrate kindness, courage, friendship, and the idea that even the smallest heroes can make the biggest difference.\nEach short adventure follows the lovable duo as they unravel mysteries, meet new friends, and discover unexpected magic from rescuing a lost kitten in their backyard to solving the puzzle of a wobbly pumpkin, encountering Santa on their rooftop, and retrieving a sparkling crystal treat from a mystical forest.\nWritten and illustrated by Detroit-based artist Ileana Kreus, the book blends expressive realism with soft painterly visuals inspired by her own beloved dogs. The result is a heartwarming experience that engages young readers while offering timeless lessons reminiscent of classic Aesop’s Fables.\nPerfect for shared reading between adults and children, classrooms, bedtime storytelling, or early independent readers, this delightful collection encourages empathy, teamwork, bravery, and the belief that every day can become an adventure when approached with a kind heart.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 196981814X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.196981814X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kreus, Ileana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
