Emily Rice is a storyteller who believes some of the best stories come from the animals, adventures, mishaps, and unforgettable moments that make up everyday life. Her stories are inspired by real experiences and the animals who have shared her life along the way. With plenty of humor, heart, and the occasional bit of chaos, Emily writes about friendship, second chances, road trips, family, and what happens when a very small dog develops a very large personality. Her first published book, Po Tails, follows Poquita, a tiny black Chihuahua who proves that being little has absolutely nothing to do with being quiet. From swap meets and beach trips to muddy adventures and everyday life at home, Poquita has a way of turning an ordinary day into a story worth remembering. Emily's love of animals extends far beyond Poquita. Over the years, dogs and cats of every size and personality have provided an almost endless supply of stories—some sweet, some ridiculous, and some that probably seemed like a much better idea at the time. Po Tails is only the beginning. Emily Rice writes their stories so the animals—and the memories they created—can live on, one tail at a time.
