Papayo: The Peruvian Puppy

Papayo is a Peruvian puppy who enters each day with excitement as he conquers many adventures with which he is faced. From exploring the Andes Mountains along the Inca Trail, to daily chores on his small village farm; readers get a glimpse into the lives of the free-roaming dogs in South America! Papayo is a real puppy living outside of Cusco, and I had the pleasure of meeting him during my travels to Peru. My own heart felt compelled to share this story since Papayo reminded me so much of my own puppy, Felix, back home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yet, they lived completely different lives. Children and families of all ages can enjoy the heartfelt tale of Papayo: The Peruvian Puppy.

Emily Eskew resides in the Queen City of Charlotte, NC with her fianceÌ, Ryan and their two doxie pups, Felix & Yogi. As a native of Virginia, she received her Bachelor's degree in Health Promotion and continued to earn her Masters of Public Health from Virginia Tech - Go Hokies!Her typical day-to-day work is in health and benefits technology in the southeast, but she also enjoys community work as a group exercise instructor for the YMCA. Her spare time is spent jamming to Tom Petty, visiting local wineries, or traveling the world-where she finds much inspiration for children's stories.

This was a sweet story that is fun and educational! Many children I have read it to have really enjoyed Papayo and his adventures in Peru. I have purchased many as gifts & look forward to passing the story along to others.

This book is so cute!! My boys love following Papayo’s adventure and love that they get to see the “real” Papayo at the end of the book. Nicely written and great illustrations!
