Get ready to meet Perla – the feisty, magical rescue dog who will steal your heart and teach children to stand up to bullies.

From #1 international bestselling author Isabel Allende and award-winning illustrator Sandy Rodriguez comes the first in a series of picture books about a dog called Perla and the family who love her.

Meet Perla. She's a small dog with a BIG personality and a very impressive roar. When she's adopted by the Ricos, a Mexican-American family in search of a guard dog, Perla quickly makes friends with seven-year-old Nico Rico – who needs someone to help him deal with the school bullies.

Soon, Perla has changed the lives of everyone in the Rico family … and found a place in their hearts forever.
