Jojo's Wish
by Ryan Valdes


Jojo’s Wish is a heartwarming story about a playful dog named Jojo who dreams of swimming in the sea. One night, her wish comes true when she magically transforms into a seal and explores the ocean. Despite enjoying her underwater adventure, Jojo soon misses the love of her family. Realizing that true happiness lies with them, she returns home as the dog they love. The story concludes with a message of hope, encouraging readers to believe in their dreams.


Ryan Valdes lives in Washington with his beautiful wife, two boys, and their playful pup, Jojo—who inspired this story. Growing up in Vancouver, BC, Ryan developed a love for storytelling, drawing inspiration from his adventures and family life. When he's not writing, Ryan enjoys fishing, hiking, and spending time with his family. This is his first children's book, celebrating the joy of dreams and the love of family.
