The first book: how two puppies, the last of a farm litter, were picked out and brought home.

Every Tanner and Tilly book is a full-color picture book, written and illustrated for reading aloud. This one is where the series begins. The backyard adventures follow, one book at a time, and each will appear here as it is released.

Studio

Harelin is one person in California, making things to a standard, not a schedule.

Software that does what it says. Handbooks that explain why. Picture books worth reading twice. Each is made for the person on the other side of it, and with no investors and no growth targets, that person is the only one to answer to.

Three rules

They apply to everything on this page.
