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 fiancé, 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.

    We bought this book for a few of our friend’s kids and it has been a HIT! We love children’s books that inspire a love for both animals and traveling—two things that we love as a family as well. The author did a fantastic job!

  • Gray’s mommy

    Absolutely love this book! We received this as a gift and my 2 year old son absolutely adores it. Every night at bedtime he runs and grabs this book out of the hundreds he has and wants to read it every night. He loves looking at the cute pictures of Papayo as we read him all the fun adventures. We love to travel and love that it brings a new culture into his life! Definitely recommend for little ones!
