NEW YORK (AP) — Inspired by her beloved dog, Jennifer Aniston will soon become a children’s author.
The “Friends” star has a four-book deal with HarperCollins Publishers and animation studio Invisible Studio for a works featuring the animated dog Clydeo, based on the actor’s own rescue pet, Clyde. The first book, “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life,” with illustrations by Bruno Jacob, is scheduled for release on Oct. 1.
Clydeo is already a favorite on social media, with more than 100 million views across platforms since Aniston first posted about him on Instagram in 2021. “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life,” billed as a “deliciously fun-filled journey of self-discovery and self-confidence,” will tell of Clydeo’s discovery that he’s a gifted cook.
“I could not be more thrilled to be taking Clydeo and his stories to publishing,” Aniston said in a statement.
