Synopsis

When Bo Met Arrow follows Bo, a lovable terrier puppy whose world changes when a tiny kitten named Arrow joins the family.Suddenly, Bo begins to feel jealous, uncertain, and afraid of losing the love and attention he once had all to himself.

With support from his family, Bo learns that welcoming someone new doesn’t mean losing the love already around him.
Through heartwarming storytelling and relatable animal characters, The Adventures of Bo & Arrow: When Bo Met Arrow helps children understand big emotions like jealousy, fear, and change in a safe and comforting way.

Rather than teaching through lectures, the story gently helps children process difficult family transitions through characters they can emotionally connect with, reminding them that their feelings are valid and that they are not alone in experiencing them.

SEL-aligned and reviewed by Dr. Crystal Dorn, the story supports emotional learning, empathy, and healthy family conversations for children.

The first book of a 22 book series includes a companion workbook with simple activities and conversation prompts to help children work through big emotions with parents and educators.

About the author

S. DeWayne Henderson — Author, The Adventures of Bo & Arrow

Some of the most important lessons in life come from the smallest teachers — a wagging tail, a curious kitten, a friendship you never saw coming.

Stephon Henderson knows this firsthand. As a father, grandfather, former pastor, counselor, and Transformation Life Coach, he has spent decades helping people — young and old — find their footing in a complex world. But it was watching his own children grow up alongside their beloved pets, Bolo and Arrow, that planted the seed for something truly special.

Those childhood moments — full of laughter, friction, and unexpected love — became the heartbeat of The Adventures of Bo & Arrow, a children's book series that weaves social-emotional learning into stories warm enough to read at bedtime and meaningful enough to carry into life.

Bo is a terrier. Arrow is a tabby kitten. Together, they teach children what even the most thoughtful adults sometimes struggle to put into words — how to handle big feelings, build real friendships, and show up for each other even when it's hard. The series is rooted in CASEL's five core SEL competencies and designed to be a tool as much as a treasure, complete with educator guides, family discussion prompts, and classroom resources.

Stephon's debut book, When Bo Met Arrow, is his love letter to every child navigating something new — a new school, a new sibling, a new feeling they don't yet have the words for. This campaign is about bringing that book into the hands of the children who need it most.

Join the adventure. Bo and Arrow have been waiting for you.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
