“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.”                                                                         

-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.”
