Not a Lapdog
“Not a lapdog” is a picture book that combines storytelling and factual information. It follows a Husky named Pikku as he travels to a new home and encounters an unfamiliar environment. The book explains how dogs perceive the world and highlights that different breeds have different needs. Its main message is that understanding and respect are more important than closeness.
- encourages children to respect boundaries and to understand dogs
- helps to observe, ask, and respect animals rather than touching them without understanding
- combines a fictional story with real, factual information.
My name is Gina and I’m based in Berlin, where I study design and enjoy creating gentle, visual stories.Growing up with Huskies shaped not only my love for animals, but also the way I observe and understand them.I’m curious by nature and drawn to new experiences, ideas, and places. I enjoy challenges and like approaching new projects with an open and thoughtful mindset.
