About this title

Synopsis

Silver Winner of the Nautilus Book Awards. Finalist for the Kids' Book Choice Awards Favorite Illustrated Character, the Eric Hoffer Book Award Montaigne Medal, and the Anna Dewdney Read Together Award.

Never Give Up is the true story of Chi Chi, a Golden Retriever who is left abandoned and broken on the side of the road. She is rescued and brought to an animal hospital where the doctor must amputate Chi Chi's legs. Chi Chi is joyful even though she loses her legs, and she waits patiently for her forever family to adopt her.

When she is adopted, Chi Chi's family realize that the bandages on her legs fall off easily. They decide to get her prosthetic legs, or "shoes," so she can run and play like other dogs. Chi Chi's hard work and joyful spirit give her the power to get stronger. When she gets her new shoes, Chi Chi is grateful to God for His plan for her life. Never Give Up will inspire readers to persevere through trials with a joyful attitude.

Midwestern resident Blayne Fox grew up romping through the Missouri woodlands, letting her imagination take flight to create magical kingdoms and creatures wherever she went. Predominantly self-taught, Blayne knew what she was going to be from a very young age: an artist. After attending art college, she plunged into her industry, working for clients such as Discovery Channel and National Geographic Kids within her first year out of school. She is now represented by Deborah Wolfe LTD and primarily focuses on illustrating children's books and graphic novels.
