The Bradykin Series: Inspired by Family, Focused on Fun
Hello, I'm Susan Downing, creator of the Bradykin series, centered around our beloved Coton de Tulear. Our books celebrate small-town values, family traditions, and cherished memories. But more than that, we advocate for the power of outdoor play and reading in enhancing children's mental health and happiness.
Kids naturally seek happiness, and outdoor activities and reading play vital roles in achieving it. Whether it's a game of tag in the backyard, a hike in the woods, or a quiet moment with a book, these experiences create lasting memories and promote overall well-being.
Bradykin, like many family pets, brings joy and a child-like perspective to each day. By incorporating outdoor play and reading into their routines, children not only stay active but also deepen their bonds with family and friends. The fresh air and freedom of outdoor spaces, combined with the wonder of a good story, provide a much-needed break from anxiety and stress, fostering mental clarity and resilience.
Reading is just as important as physical play for a child’s development. It stimulates imagination, improves concentration, and expands their understanding of the world. Books like the Bradykin series offer children the opportunity to escape into magical adventures while also learning valuable life lessons. Whether curled up with a book or engaging in outdoor fun, children benefit both mentally and emotionally.
The Coton de Tulear, with its playful personality, is the perfect companion for both outdoor fun and cozy reading time. Their eagerness to explore and affectionate nature make them ideal partners for children, fostering companionship, joy, and curiosity.
We chose Bradykin for these reasons and more, and we hope you enjoy following our pet's inspiring adventures. Let's embrace the outdoors, create cherished memories, foster a love for reading, and nurture our well-being with Bradykin by our side.
Bradykin Gives Back
At Bradykin, we believe in spreading joy and hope beyond the pages of our books. That's why we're committed to giving back to children in need. We proudly donate our books to hospitals, schools, and children across Massachusetts and other states, bringing comfort to young patients and fostering a love of reading in classrooms. Our outreach also extends to children in other countries, promoting the importance of both reading and outdoor play worldwide.
Together, we can make a difference—one Bradykin story at a time.
