One of TikTok’s furriest influencers is getting her own book.
Maxine the Fluffy Corgi, who has delighted social media users with her mega-popular accounts, will be the subject of a children’s picture book, People magazine reports.
Random House Books for Young Readers will publish Maxine Gets a Job, a book written by the dog’s owners, Alexandra Garyn and Bryan Reisberg, and illustrated by Susan Batori, next year. The press says that in the book, “Maxine the Fluffy Corgi teaches your littlest reader the importance of figuring out what they love to do and doing it with their whole hearts!”
Maxine has delighted users of TikTok and Instagram, where Garyn and Reisberg upload videos of the pup’s antics and adventures. She’s been spotted hanging out with celebrities including Ed Sheeran, who clearly likes the shape of her.
The book will tell the story of Maxine’s attempts to secure gainful employment, trying out gigs as a lifeguard and a sled dog. “Maxine tries (and fails at) her friends’ jobs until she realizes the key to finding the perfect job: doing what she loves,” Random House says.
In an Instagram post announcing the book, Garyn and Reisberg wrote, “She’s been a source of endless happiness and laughter, so we wanted to bring all of that unbridled joy into a kids book about finding your passion.”
Maxine Gets a Job is slated for publication on May 7, 2024.
