Location
Our stories are rooted in real Southern Idaho landmarks—places kids actually visit, recognize, and love. From Shoshone Falls to downtown Twin Falls to the excitement of Hayloft Hall, each adventure brings familiar locations to life in a way that helps readers feel connected to their own community. These local backdrops aren’t just settings—they’re part of what makes the series unique, memorable, and special.
Characters
Our characters make the series truly unique because they’re intentionally created to reflect real kids. Rip’s world is filled with diverse children and dogs—different backgrounds, abilities, personalities, and strengths—so every young reader can find someone who feels familiar. Each character brings their own perspective and lesson to the story, whether it’s bravery, kindness, curiosity, or determination. By showcasing a wide range of experiences and identities, we make sure every child feels represented, included, and seen—because every adventure is better when everyone gets to belong.

Parent Engagement Opportunity
At the end of every book, parents will find a simple guided Q&A designed to spark meaningful conversations. These prompts help kids think deeper about Rip’s adventure, reflect on their own experiences, and dream about what they’d explore next. It’s an easy, fun way to turn story time into connection time.
