It all started when…
Two very compassionate people decided to help homeless pets with their book. Dula Yavne and Douglas Anthony COoper have offered No Kill Colorado an opportunity to raise money through the sale of their beautiful and heartwarming book about a dog, Galunker, and his journey.
ALL purchases at Galunker.com benefit Colorado homeless pets.
Dula Yavne is an artist based in Tel Aviv, whose work has been exhibited around the world: in Israel, New York and London. She has illustrated for leading magazines and newspapers, was a Brown Foundation resident artist at the Dora Maar house in France, and has published a graphic novel. Coming from this background, she brings a new sensibility to children’s book illustration.
Douglas Anthony Cooper is a Canadian novelist based in Rome. He was a contributing editor at New York Magazine, and his journalism has won America’s most prestigious travel writing award, as well as a National Magazine Award in Canada. His first YA novel was on the Financial Times Bestseller List, and was deemed a "Book of the Year" by Lovereading 4 Kids. And he has always wanted to write a Seuss-like fable for children.
Douglas happened upon Dula’s artwork online, fell in love with it, and decided they had to collaborate on a project. Dula immediately agreed. So, that’s how it all began. Dula and Douglas have now worked together for almost five years.
Oh, and they’ve never actually met in person.
Since they are both huge dog lovers, they decided that their first project would be a parable about the prejudice against bully breeds. Hence, our hero Galunker: a rescued fighting dog who might be a pit bull (he sure looks like one) and is in mortal danger for that reason. While he is of course lovable and good -- even if he looks a bit worse for wear -- he may end up in the hands of very nasty people.
Galunker is lucky to encounter one person who is not blinded by prejudice: our quirky, brave heroine, Blinky -- a girl with an eye patch and a motormouth.
