The Adventures of Manni the Long Tailed Raccoon is a children's fiction book collection. The series follows a sweet-adventure loving little raccoon as she grows up in a single parent family and learns about friendships, family and coping in a world where she is a little bit different. The first book Manni, Moe and Mama begins when Manni is five years old, so it is suitable to read to children ages 1-6 and great for older children to read on their own. This is the first in the collection of illustrated animal adventure books. Beautifully illustrated by a wonderful graphic designer, Ela Shusterman she lives in Israel and is the mother of three young children.
