Life with Fifi

A children’s book without a specific age category, offering a glimpse into the small rituals and shared moments that shape a day with Fifi Paris.

Fifi a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, came into the lives of Angelica and Kris a few years ago – small in size, immense in spirit. Taking care of a puppy is taking responsibility for creating their world and letting the small animal transform yours. As her human caretakers, the authors made Fifi’s world with toys, cuddles, rules, snacks and walks in the park. In return, Fifi transformed their world by bringing a community together and reminding them of the importance of caring for one another.

This book traces a single day in Fifi’s life, from the moment she wakes up to when she falls asleep at night. Through shared routines and rituals the authors share how they connect with her, how they see her understanding her surroundings and what she has taught them about companionship.

Life with Fifi is a book by editor and writer Kris Dittel and artist Angelica Falkeling
