Jennifer Aniston, the beloved actress known for her iconic role in “Friends,” is embarking on a new adventure – this time, in the world of children’s literature. The Emmy-Award winning star has announced her debut children’s book, “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life,” set to be published by HarperCollins Children’s Books this fall. But this isn’t just any ordinary book; it’s the first installment in a four-book deal between Aniston, the publisher, and the animation studio Invisible Universe.
Inspired by her real-life rescue dog Clyde, “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life” follows the origin story of Clydeo, an animated pup who embarks on a fun-filled journey to discover his true passion – cooking. The book, beautifully illustrated by Bruno Jacob, promises to capture the hearts of children and dog-lovers alike as Clydeo navigates the challenges of finding his place in the world.
An Adorable Journey of Self-Discovery
At the heart of this delightful tale is Clydeo’s struggle to find “his thing” among his family members. But through his adventures, he learns the importance of self-confidence and embracing his unique talents. As Aniston herself puts it, “When I decided to partner with Invisible Universe to bring Clydeo to life on social media, I could have never imagined how much joy he would bring to his fans and followers.”
“I could not be more thrilled to be taking Clydeo and his stories to publishing, where he will hopefully inspire children and dog-lovers alike with his adorable journey to find his true passion,” she adds, beaming with excitement.
A Promising Literary Collaboration
But “Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life” is just the beginning. The four-book deal promises a delightful array of adventures for Clydeo and his fans. Future titles will include a cookbook from Aniston and Clydeo, as well as two “I Can Read!” books for young readers, ensuring that the lovable pup’s journey continues to captivate and inspire.
“Getting to partner with Jennifer Aniston to bring this character and story to life has been a career high,” says Tricia Biggio, Co-Founder & CEO of Invisible Universe, the animation studio behind Clydeo’s creation.
