A heartwarming children's book about courage, comfort, and the healing power of therapy dogs.
Buddy, a playful golden retriever therapy dog, has a big heart and a few sneaky tricks up his paw! Each week, he visits the children's hospital with Miss Emma to spread cheer. But today is different. Buddy has an important mission: helping a scared little boy named Leo find courage before his surgery.
From silly games to slobbery kisses, Buddy pulls out all the stops to make Leo smile. This comforting story introduces children to the power of therapy dogs while offering encouragement to kids who may be facing challenges of their own.
Inspired by real-life therapy dog programs, Brave Buddy's Big Mission is a joyful and reassuring read that celebrates kindness, courage, and the special bond between dogs and children. Perfect for ages 4-7, it's an uplifting storytime or bedtime pick for families, classrooms, and libraries alike.
