Winner of 12 book awards, Henri and the Magnificent Snort is for anyone who needs reminding of their own magnificence.
This is the story of a little French bulldog named Henri, who is bullied because he snorts. Henri is launched on a journey to learn how lovable he truly is, SNORTS and all. Based on the true story of a famous Frenchie and the author's childhood experiences with being bullied, Henri and the Magnificent Snort teaches celebrating differences, recognizing that we all belong, and treating everyone (ourselves included) with love and kindness.
Filled with beautiful hand painted illustrations, the book will enchant readers of all ages and leave your heart imprinted with the knowing that, just like Henri, you are loved and magnificent, just as you are.

I cried at the ending of this wonderful book! Being a grade schoolteacher since 1978, I have not read a more on target and moving story for children that also speaks to adults. A lot of us have been bullied or know someone who has been bullied, and the resolution in the story for Henri to overcome his shame and then help others was perfect writing... Anyone who has ever had low esteem or ever bullied needs this book to remind them just how beautiful they are; a wonderful lesson taught by a simple story. Bravo! Samantha Childs you are a jewel: keep on writing. - LitPick Book Review
Childs's book is simply a stunning work of children's literature. I cannot say enough about the impact this book will have on young readers. The use of dogs, rhyming text, and an absolutely beautiful collection of touching illustrations make Childs and Farr's book a future classic. Henri and the Magnificent Snort, written by Samantha Childs and illustrated by Hannah Farr, is an invaluable book in bullying education. The lessons about self-confidence, self-worth, and acceptance combine to create a must-have story for elementary classrooms, homeschool programs, and school guidance counselors. I highly recommend Childs and Farr's book to anyone looking for an easy-to-understand, rhyming storyline to help teach young readers how to value themselves and others. - Literary Titan
Expressed poignantly through simple, rhyming verse, the narrative beautifully conveys the reassuring message that we are all lovable despite our differences... A stunner. - Prairies Book Review
Henri and The Magnificent Snort is beautiful and impactful, making it an amazing gift for children, and a perfect addition to a children's library or book collection... This book tackles the important and complicated issue of bullying with compassion and empathy for the victim, bystanders, as well as for the bully. By illustrating the traumatic impact of bullying through the experience of Henri, the lovable Frenchie, this book makes the topic accessible, and will help children (and their families) to have conversations about bullying that will help them to learn and make great choices for themselves and others. As someone who has worked with and for children throughout my career... I can say that this will be my personal go-to gift for all the kids in my life, and a recommendation for children's reading lists. - Carolyn Tuckwell, CEO, Boys and Girls Club of South Coast BC
