Nicole Rivera is a children's book author residing in Brooklyn, NY. She is the guardian of a beautiful corn snake named Dumpling and has an affinity for all animals, especially pit bulls.
Her first book, "Max, the Shelter Dog," was inspired by a pit bull named Max who Nicole met on her first day of volunteering at her local animal shelter. Since then, it has been Max's mission to teach animal compassion worldwide.
To further spread Max's mission of animal compassion, a companion teacher's curriculum titled "Max's Animal Compassion Curriculum" (MACC) was written to help teachers and educators bring animal compassion into the classroom.
Max's life long mission is to teach animal compassion and so Max P. Productions was formed in order realize this mission through the production of high-quality childrens books, music, games, full-length feature animation and so much more.
It is Max's hope that through his story a new generation of leaders and guardians of the animal kingdom will be born.
