Rita Reed is the Amazon Bestseller and award-winning author of DOGFISH Saves the Ocean, DOGFISH Stands Up to Bullying, and DOGFISH, Just be YOU!. Through her colorful and engaging children’s picture book series, Dogfish Tales, she spreads positivity, inclusiveness, love, and acceptance of all.

Growing up, Rita had a love for the ocean and the natural world. She would never miss an episode of The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, a series about marine exploration and conservation. But her real inspiration was her father, who was an avid scuba diver and would tell magnificent stories of his deep-sea adventures. Tales of his encounters with eels, giant octopus, whales, sharks, and many other sea creatures would captivate her, inspiring a connection to the ocean that would never fade.

Rita is passionate about children’s picture books. As a parent she cherished time spent reading to her own children, connecting with them through the magic of books. She discovered that reading together could start conversations about important issues. Years later, she dreamt of her character Dogfish, and was inspired to write meaningful and empowering stories for children.

With a strong heart for philanthropy, Rita believes in access to books for everyone. She partners with the non-profit organization, Imagination Storybooks, where Dogfish Tales will be available in video and audiobooks for blind, deaf and neurodiverse children.

Rita is a member of SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators), CIPA (Colorado Independent Publishers Association), ALLI (The Alliance of Independent Authors), and Goodreads. Rita resides in Southern California, where she studied art, architecture, and interior design. She enjoys spending time with her family and two silly, spoiled cats.

“I feel Dogfish in my heart. He’s the vulnerable, innocent child in all of us.”

The Dogfish Tales series is available at: www.DogfishTales.com Amazon and Barnes and Noble

    This book is beautifully illustrated. The bright colors are very appealing as well. It was well written and easy for my child to follow. The only issue I had was that the layout on Kindle was very confusing and made it feel as if parts were missing from the story. Despite that, it was a good book with a wonderful message.

    I loved the message in Dogfish stands up to bullying. It gave a child a feeling that they are not alone. It also gave a reason why some bully and an idea how to handle it! I loved the characters especially Dogfish😊

    It's better to celebrate uniqueness than let it divide people.

    I received this book FREE from the author, publisher, distributor, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.

    There's a problem with this ebook version; each page has been inserted twice.

    My daughter and I loved reading this book. It's very well written and the words rhyme similar to a Dr Seuss book. It's beautifully illustrated with bright colors. Most of all, we love that the book has a very important message about bullying. Reading this book helped me start a conversation with my four-year-old about bullying and what she can do if she finds herself in a bullying situation.

    I have read this book by borrowing it through my Kindle Unlimited subscription and reading it using the Kindle app on my tablet.

    This is a lovely book of illustrations with a remarkable message for kids. With the help of a dogfish and all his fishy friends, the author explains to the little ones of the house why bullying is bad and must be stopped the moment it occurs. This message is supported by beautiful illustrations that match perfectly with the rhythmic words.

    If you're looking for a beautiful book with a useful message for your little ones, this is the one.
