Animal Rescue Friends

“Cute critters, compassionate kids, and community—what’s not to love?”—Kirkus Reviews

At the Animal Rescue Friends shelter, everyone is looking for a way to belong—kids and animals alike. From Epic! Originals, this is the first book in the Animal Rescue Friends graphic novel series, filled with humor and furry friendships.

Welcome to Animal Rescue Friends, where any stray can find a friendly face. This first collection of comics for readers ages 8-10 includes five tales of found family: A lonely girl living in the suburbs finds happiness with a stray pit bull; a protective mama ferret and her six kits learn to trust a shelter volunteer; a shy boy stands up for himself with the help of a strong-willed bunny; a cantankerous cat helps to mend a troubled relationship; and the shelter's unofficial mascot eventually finds a home.

Perfect for animal-loving kids, this adorable comics series is an inspiring, uplifting read.
