Mimi and Maty to the Rescue: An Inspiring Book for the Pet-Loving Family

As if her real-life story isn’t uplifting enough, the pet-saving adventures of Mimi Ausland—the girl wonder who founded a website that helps feed shelter pets (freekibble.com) at age 11—have been re-imagined as an adorable new web book.

What’s incredible about this book, besides the fun, mystery-based plot (Who can resist a search for a missing pet rat?), is the detailed glimpse into the mind of a kid who makes things happen.

Sure lots of us sat around with our dog, dreaming up schemes to help our friends (or our friends’ pets) when we were young, but how many of us turned those ideas into a task list? How many of us used the pattern on our favorite sweater as inspiration for posters advertising our pet detective skills?

And who better to share these all-important particulars with us than the author, Mimi’s mom, Brooke? Brooke naturally captures Mimi’s spirit, her special bond with her 3-legged dog, Maty, and her knack for making things happen.

These little tidbits take a fast-paced story and turn it into something much more significant: inspiration.

Accompanied by cool, colorful illustrations by Alli Arnold, this is a book any kid with a passion should read right away.
