A Personal Note
Many of you first came to know Diva Dogs through your beloved pets. It was a privilege to care for animals who were more than companions, they were family. Over the years, Jerel & I witnessed firsthand the loyalty of a devoted dog, the quiet strength of a watchful cat, and the comfort animals bring into a home.
Those qualities stayed with us.
In time, a new vision began to grow, one rooted in the same heart for care and purpose, but expressed through storytelling. Today, Diva Dogs has expanded into a creative publishing studio dedicated to making meaningful books for children and magazine publications for teens.
The setting may have shifted from paws-to-pages, but the mission is familiar: to nurture what matters most. Our stories are shaped by faith, inspired by timeless values, and designed to spark imagination, conversation, and courage in young readers ~ reminding children that real strength and courage come from the Lord, who equips us to face life’s challenges.
Thank you for being part of this journey, both then and now.
Warmly
Cindy Lonnstrom
Founder, Diva Dogs Publishing
Why Stories Matter
In a culture overflowing with fast content and constant noise, meaningful stories offer something different.
They slow us down.
They strengthen imagination.
They create space for conversation across generations.
For parents, they become teaching moments.
For grandparents, they become shared memories.
For aunts and uncles, they become bridges ~ meaningful ways to stay connected.
For young readers, they become quiet anchors.
At Diva Dogs, we believe stories can do more than entertain; they can help young people grow in courage, compassion, and confidence about who they are becoming.

A note from Our Heart
Every child’s faith and character are shaped by the stories they hear and the examples they see. Through thoughtful, values-based storytelling, we aim to nurture courage, compassion, and integrity in the next generation.
Parents have asked how they can extend that impact beyond their own home and into classrooms, youth groups, and outreach programs. We’re happy to offer special volume pricing for parents who would like to sponsor books for:
- A school classroom
- A church or synagogue program
- A youth or ministry outreach initiative
To share meaningful stories with more children, please complete our request form and let us know how you’d like to help.
Together, we can help strengthen faith, character, and resilience in communities that are shaping the next generation.
Sharing Love this Valentine’s Day Season
Every story begins with love ~ love for animals, love for children, and love for stories that stay with us.
This season, we’re celebrating the small, steady ways love shows up: in loyalty, in courage, in keeping promises, and in searching for what matters most.
Thank you for your continued encouragement and support as Diva Dogs enters this new chapter. Because no one is ever too small ~ or too young ~ for a little adventure.
