Cynthia Petillo

About Cynthia:

Cynthia resides in Kennett Square, PA, in idyllic Chester County horse country. She is surrounded by scenic rolling hills and historic farm houses and taverns that once housed our founding fathers and patriots.

Having grown up in a family with several generations of stray cats and dogs, Cynthia was never without a four legged friend in her childhood home. She cherishes the memories of time spent at her grandfather's farm where she tended to calves, chickens, and a coterie of barn cats and dogs.

Cynthia's love of animals, especially Kenjo, the Japanese Chin who was a beloved family member and constant companion was the inspiration for her debut children’s book, The Adventures of Chips and Salsa. 

The Adventures of Chips and Salsa


Meet Chips, a happy-go-lucky, friendly beagle, and his pals as they welcome Salsa, a tiny, shy Chihuahua who is new to the neighborhood. The dogs become fast friends and, before they know it, find themselves on a playful adventure in the park. And though Salsa may be tiny, he proves that true loyalty, friendship, and love come in all sizes. Join Chips and Salsa as they take readers on a fun-filled and exciting journey full of new adventures!
