Meet The Characters
Each of these characters has adapted and developed special skills, their “superpowers,” that allow them to encourage acceptance of
differences or additional needs.
Doctor Owlkin
The wise and friendly doctor.
Nurse Sharky
Doctor Owlkin's trusted nurse and friend - "a fish out of water."
Trouble
A Bloodhound who was born with extraordinarily long and useful ears.
King Tux
A tiny cat who has a BIG personality and smarts!
Pirate
A lop-eared rabbit with only one eye who sees the world in a unique way.
A Golden Retriever who was born with a missing forearm but doesn’t let that stop her from being a hero.
Goldie
The Team goes out into the community to help those animals with differences, special needs or disabilities. Each book addresses a new “difference” to teach children why that character is special, and that we are all “different and unique”
in some way.
Future Characters
Arby - the painted wolf. Arby is really good at art! When he starts kindergarten we learn that he has trouble reading. Doctor Owlkin tells Arby that he has dyzlexia just like Arby!
Taylor - the turtle with autism. She has a hard time being social so she retreats into her shell where she has all of his computers and invents new technologies. Slowly she invites others into her shell and becomes more comfortable interacting with other animals.
Happy – the horse with Down's Syndrome. She is happy all the time so she makes friends with all the other animals. Doctor Owlkin and The H.O.M.E. Team explain how the extra chromosome makes Happy extra special.
Edna - the eagle. Edna has Leukemia and becomes bald from chemotherapy. All her bald-eagle friends shave their heads to truly become bald eagles as a sign of unity and support. The H.O.M.E. Team teaches her how her experience can help other animals who are going through the same experience. She goes to hospitals to assure other animals going through chemo that being bald is a sign of strength.
Freddy – a frog that is paraplegic. The H.O.M.E. Team builds him a wheelchair with springs so he can hop from one lily pad to the other like the other frogs.
Betty – the beaver. Betty has very small teeth. The H.O.M.E. Team motivates her to become an engineer. She becomes the head engineer for building dams in Hopeville.
Cecil – the snake. Cecil has a lisp, but goes to TasteMasters and overcomes his speech impediment to give the valedictorian speech for Rattler High.
Pica – a bull with an eating disorder. The H.O.M.E. Team teaches him to love himself just the way he is and why nutrition is so important.
Lulu – the Labradoodle. She has a Golden Labrador for a father and a French Poodle mother. She is picked on for being a mixed breed, BUT Labradoodles become their OWN NEW breed and she “is the first, but not the last” to be named “Best in Show!”
Ronny – the Roadrunner with asthma. The H.O.M.E. Team gets him an inhaler and teaches him how to monitor his asthma so he can run and play with the others.
