PAPERBACK
Floki
After being adopted by his new family, Floki sets off into the Australian bush and meets a lively bunch of bush friends, each with their own special ‘thing’. But what about Floki – does he have his very own little ‘thing’?
In his search for what makes him special, Floki discovers the magic of family and the warmth of love from his new home, complete with four lovable adopted siblings.
Floki: The Story of a Fluffy Little Rescue Chihuahua is a heartwarming tale perfect for animal lovers of all ages who know the power of love, family and friendships.
About the Author
Di Hedges proves that every great adventure has a second act. Before settling into the peaceful rhythm of bush life in Canoelands, Australia, Di was rocking out behind the scenes, working with some of the biggest rock bands of the ’80s and ’90s. She traded in backstage passes for a different kind of joy: the chaos and love of a home filled with five adopted furry friends.
When she’s not writing, you can find Di tending to her organic garden, practicing yoga, or traveling to her favourite spiritual destinations, Thailand and India. But her most important role? Being “Ra Ra” to her grandson, Ryker. It was during their story time snuggles that the tale of a little growly chihuahua began to wag its way into her heart.
Inspired by her own fluffy family, Di channelled her passion for animal rescue into her debut children’s book Floki The Story of a Fluffy Little Rescue Chihuahua. She knows first hand how a little love can transform a life, and she poured that belief into every word of Floki. Di’s story is a beautiful reminder that everyone—whether on two legs or four—deserves a chance to find their way home and discover what makes them special.
