Jia is petrified of dogs. Charlie the dog is terrified of children. And neither of them knows why! On the day their paths cross, they do everything they can to avoid each other. But when it begins to rain and thunder booms, they find themselves seeking shelter under the same roof. Told in a dual narrative, JIA HAS A DOG PROBLEM acknowledges the realities of irrational fear and shows us that sometimes those we fear are more like us than we think.

This book will be my second book with Kokila and will be published in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates!
