Jennifer Aniston, famous for her role as Rachel Green in the iconic 90s sitcom ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S,’ is expanding her horizons by venturing into the world of children’s literature. At the age of 55, she will be releasing a heartwarming series of books featuring her animated rescue dog, Clydeo. The character is inspired by her real-life furry companion, Clyde, a grey Schnauzer mixed breed.
The announcement of Aniston’s new venture came on June 11 via her Instagram account. The book, titled ‘Clydeo Takes A Bite Out Of Life,’ is set to hit shelves on November 1 as part of a four-book deal with HarperCollins Publishers. This collaboration with the animation studio Invisible Universe stemmed from the popularity of an animated version of Clydeo created in 2021. The lovable rescue dog quickly gained a massive following on Instagram and TikTok, capturing the hearts of a younger audience. Aniston expressed her surprise and delight at the joy Clydeo brought to his young fans and is eager to share his story with a wider audience through the printed pages.
Illustrated by the talented Brazilian artist Bruno Jacob, the book will follow Clydeo’s journey of self-discovery and newfound passion for cooking. Aniston’s real-life pets, including Clyde, can be found on Instagram under the handle @CallMeClydeo, where she frequently shares adorable moments with her furry companions, Sophie and Lord Chesterfield.
While the release date for ‘Clydeo Takes A Bite Out Of Life’ is set for November 1, parents and young readers alike can look forward to a heartwarming tale that emphasizes self-confidence and exploration.
