About
Dan Bailes
Dan just finished book #3 in his award-winning series, Marlon’s Marvelous Adventures. He enjoys creating fun, heartwarming tales that offer some life lessons, too. When his children were young, he loved making up stories to tickle their funny bones. After they had kids of their own, he decided to turn the best adventures into chapter books.
He has a light-hearted touch to storytelling and uses humor and a sense of adventure to engage young readers. His stories center around themes of friendship, courage, self-reliance and embracing our differences.
“I hope my books will help kids develop self-confidence and feel empowered to make good decisions. And if I can make them laugh along the way, all the better.”
Dan launched Nice Dog Books with his canine companion, KukkaTahti. When they’re not busy writing or thinking silly thoughts, they can be found “going for a walk” on the streets of Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments. Please email me at dan@nicedogbooks.com.
About KukkaTahti
KukkaTahti
KukkaTahti is a Finnish Lapphund and bred to be a herding dog. Her name means Star Flower in Finnish. She joined our family in 2019 and is our constant companion at Nice Dog Books.
She has a gentle nature and is curious about everything. Kukka has a mind of her own and often pauses and thinks before she responds to a command. That might mean she’s pretty smart… or maybe she’s just a little stubborn.
Kukka loves people (and dogs of course) and is quick to say hello. She has a thick coat that feels soft and fluffy in your fingers and loves to play. She also likes to sleep on her back, as you can see.
She’s all about fun and has a great smile. And what about those eyebrows!
