In a gentle story from Caldecott Honoree Lauren Castillo, a shy young girl finds exploring her new city and making friends overwhelmingâuntil a rescue dog helps her uncover the bravery that was always in her.
A young girl and her mother move to an apartment in a new city. Despite her motherâs efforts to take her out, the girl would rather play by herself in their cozy homeâshe feels just fine on her own. Introductions to children her age have her hiding behind her motherâs legs, and invitations to group activities have her in tears. That is, until she meets Millie, a rescue dog who is not too big, not too small, and kisses her arm when the girl nervously reaches out. With Millie, saying hello to new people isnât so scary . . . and maybe making a friend isnât either. Through emotionally honest prose and soft, expressive illustrations, Lauren Castillo explores one girlâs shyness and anxietyâand how one dogâs love helps her open upâin a warm picture book that reminds readers of how the right companion can make the world feel like a less frightening place.
