Gianna Scipione writes stories that wag their tails straight into your heart. Inspired by the real-life facility dog at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Brave Buddy's Big Mission is Gianna's heartfelt -and slightly slobbery-debut picture book about courage, comfort, and the healing power of connection. Buddy may not have magic powers, but with a wag of his tail and a nudge of his nose, he knows just how to make a tough day a little brighter. With a background in early childhood education and a commitment to quality and equity, Gianna brings both passion and purpose to everything she creates.
