Nala Roonie: The Origin Story
The Nala Roonie Adventures are inspired by a real pet Chow Chow in London, fluffy, golden, and full of character, but also a little shy and unsure of the big, busy world around her.
Through her eyes, we saw how emotions can become gentle lessons in courage, kindness, and connection.
Nala Roonie is a fluffy, curious Chow Chow who loves going on adventures with her family: Finn, Esha, and Mummy.
She can be a little shy at first, but with a wag of her tail and a brave heart, she learns something new every day.
Join Nala as she explores the world around her in this gentle, joyful story series.
She is a real Chow Chow. She really does live in London, she really is shy of buses, and she really does have a blue tongue. Everything in the books started as a walk.
