About

With the help of their most-loved therapists--who happen to be dogs--veteran counselors David Thomas and Sissy Goff offer engaging, full-color picture books that speak to the heart of what kids need emotionally, socially, and spiritually today. Through the adventures of these furry friends, children ages 3-6 will learn how to regulate emotions, develop necessary social skills, and discover the difference each person--and puppy--can make.

The first book of The Daystar Dogs series, Owen: Learns He Has What It Takes, follows Owen, a yellow lab who's scared of new places and people and who stands too close and licks too long. But when he visits a children's hospital, a very special boy helps him find his resilience--even as Owen helps the boys and girls at the hospital do the same. Full of heart, hope, and healing, Owen shows what resilience looks like, helping kids work through fears and find the courage to face hard or scary things.
