Meet Tilly: She loves to run, play, jump, chomp, chase, roll . . . and she can be quite the troublemaker! 

In fact, her boundless energy sometimes makes her family think their young pup is out of control. Exhausted by her antics, Tilly's family wishes she would just settle down and behave.

But maybe Tilly's trouble isn't exactly what it seems . . .

For little troublemakers everywhere—and those who love them—Tilly's story reminds us that sometimes the very best things start with a little trouble. Inspired by her two dogs—Sasha and the exuberant Tilly—Lesley Albert's Tilly the Troublemaker is a fun, relatable story for children ages five to seven.

Meet Double Dane Press.

We’re a Portland-based imprint formed way back in 2020 by a crazy dog mom with a dream and a little too much time on her hands.

Our first book—a children’s book about Lesley’s mischievous dog Tilly—is available now!

We really love @wishingtreebooks and my mom was soooo excited to see our book there! Even though she didn’t take me, which was weird. If you’re in Spokane, pick up your copy at @wishingtreebooks! . . . #spokane #spokanedoesntsuck #spokane
