About Tippy and Lobo
The heart behind the adventures
A comforting friend for new adventures
Tippy is based on Annette’s beloved stuffed rabbit and childhood companion. Tippy was there during everyday adventures, frightening moments, dark nights, thunderstorms, and bedtime worries.
In these stories, Tippy meets Lobo, a gentle young wolf. Their friendship gives children a warm way to explore difference, curiosity, animals, nature, courage, and kindness.
For children and caring adults
The stories are made for children and families, with optional materials for parents, teachers, and classrooms. The website resources are designed to encourage conversation, play, drawing, listening, observation, and questions.
