About Gunner
How Ninja Puppy Started
Welcome to Ninja Puppy Co. We would love to tell you more about this talented young author/illustrator. Gunner has been doodling and writing stories since he could talk and hold a pencil in his hand. Gunner started reading books at the age of 3 and was always coming up with the best ideas and awesome drawings to go along with his ideas. The fun and mischievous Ninja Puppy came to life when Gunner wrote his first award winning book in 2019 at the age of 5. Each year, Gunner has enjoyed writing sequels to his first book that follow Ninja Puppy and his family on many exciting journeys. Ninja Puppy does tend to get into quite a bit of trouble but, he always learns a valuable lesson in each book and along with his friends and family members, he helps children learn these valuable lessons too.
Gunner's Goals
Gunner is now 10 years old and is working on writing more books. He is also taking the time to educate himself about how his Ninja Puppy stories can be enjoyed by children and adults everywhere through games, movies, TV shows, and even toys! Gunner also wants to help share stories with readers everywhere about kindness, love, self-control and many other awesome qualities. He loves the idea that a child can be successful in reaching their goals just like adults can and he hopes that perhaps, his books can inspire other children to do what they love, work hard, and find success in doing those things.
