A richly-illustrated children's book about a dog named Schmu who traded Earth for Planet Zarka.
She is curious, fearless and impossible to forget. She lives on Planet Zarka now. And she has a way of knowing things before anyone else does.
Planet Zarka sits far from Earth, under twin suns, on the shore of the Lavender Sea. Its creatures come in every shape, every color, every size imaginable. Nobody looks twice. That is just Zarka.
When Schmu arrives, the planet changes her. Her fur comes alive with color. And she belongs there completely.
This is not the alien world of science fiction. Planet Zarka is warm, strange, generous and full of life. It is a world that meets every creature exactly where they are and asks nothing in return except that you show up as yourself.
The Schmu on Planet Zarka series follows Schmu and her family through adventures that ask quiet questions about kindness, empathy and what it means to do the right thing when nobody is watching.
