the reviews

“Jaylen Perry’s story is a well-written and suspenseful story with dogs as the personified characters. It has a very endearing ending. You should read it!” 

– Jill Guerra, author of Long Hair Don’t Care, When I Breathe Deeply/Cuando Respiro Profundo, We Are Yoga/Somos Yoga, and more

the author

Jaylen Mikell Perry is ten years old and homeschooled in Oakland, California. He loves tennis and he believes that kids should play tennis more. He doesn’t back down from a hard challenger in tennis. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES dogs.

Working with Jaylen and Chapter 510 was a great experience. I encourage you to learn more about their programs that bring together youth writers like Jaylen with local writing mentors and artists like myself to create these wonderful stories. Their Oakland storefront is also a lovely space to visit!  Learn more.
