“You don’t have to be afraid. We look out for anyone who needs us.”
“Together, they were the Pride Pack. And in that moment, the savanna felt like home.” “Beside him, Lily sat like sunrise—soft-eyed and still, strong in her silence.” “Storms come and go. But we stay. And you’re safe with us.” April Jenkins |

“April Jenkins' children's book Kirby of the Serengeti is an amazing fantasy adventure across the plains of the Serengeti. The story beholds the bonding of the lion pride, yet the generosity that can still exist toward a lost baby zebra - a great lesson for life! The watchful eye of the butterfly gives the story a lightness and a guardian-angel perspective.
As a veterinarian and guardian for Kirby, I thoroughly endorse this must-read for children and adults alike.

“I taught Language Arts in public schools from fourth through eighth grade, and I believe reading is the most valuable skill a person can develop. I've been a lifelong reader since an early age, exploring every genre there is. The most important thing is finding something that touches one's heart and soul. Books and the stories they tell can change a person's life.
There are so many lessons within stories—lessons that children may not always see modeled at home or in everyday life.
After reading April Jenkins' children's book Kirby of the Serengeti: A Lidog's Tail, I was an immediate fan. This story has everything needed to make it a classic. It carries love and compassion for everyone. Every character is included, no matter what they look like or believe.
I would love to see this story read and shared everywhere young children are being taught. I can't wait for the next story in A Lidog's Tail to be released—I’ll be first in line!
