Sniffy The Snake

A lively and unique protagonist, Sniffy, who is a King Cobra, is personified by warmth, misplaced feelings, and displacement. Emotions many children feel now as they come to know the world and still are struggling with post-pandemic disharmony.

Sniffy experiences the full cycle of life in this short work. He leaves home, finds a new life, grows old, and rediscovers the permanence and value of family life. He has a shot at redemption by the end and realizes life in all its permutations is worth living.

The author, Dan Mariani, is a Wellness Writer, and has published seven books. This is his first foray into the world of children's books. He has an extensive background in writing about dislocation, stress management, manifesting happiness and other healthcare topics.
