-Kelsey Kagan, author

"I thoroughly enjoyed Osa from the cute story to the beautifully illustrated pictures. As a mom and new dog owner the story reminds me that my pups are just as different and unique as my children." - Sharvon Crocker, esthetician, mother of three

About the author
Kelsey Kagan is a hiker, dog lover, occasional blogger, sun worshipper, has an endless curiosity, and is a self-proclaimed, ‘mediocre’ mountain bike rider. Kelsey loves being outdoors, reading, and collecting cacti, and roaming backroads in her truck with her two dogs, Osa and Jasper. She is married to her high-school crush, Ry, and they call Portland, Oregon home.
Kelsey wrote Osa after reading an article on racially motivated bullying in schools. In her words: “ In this
book, I created a world of inclusivity and acceptance; a world that I want to see. Our similarities should be recognized and our differences must be celebrated.”

During our initial strategy meeting with your company, our priority is to listen to you--in order to learn as much as we can about who you are, what your needs are, and what is most important for you to communicate to your clients about your services. We encourage you to actively participate in the development and creative process.
Affordable Service
YOU are our priority! Although we have a small staff, we consider that a plus and hope you will too. Our staff are experts at what they do, we keep our overhead costs at a bare minimum and are very careful about selecting our clients; fewer select clients for us means more personal attention for you.
