Description

In this warm, witty story, a child discovers the surprising comfort of companionship—learning how to care for others while also finding ways to be kind to themselves. As the days unfold, the narrator’s imaginative “dog” becomes a playful mirror for feelings that are hard to name, turning everyday moments into small acts of courage and connection. With gentle humor and a heartfelt emotional arc, the book explores themes of empathy, self-reliance, and the ways we create comfort when we need it most. David Ezra Stein’s distinctive, expressive storytelling brings a tender, accessible voice that invites readers to laugh, reflect, and feel understood.
