About

"Pippa loved attention. It was like being in a spotlight. . . . But a turn of the doorknob changed everything. The baby had arrived!"

Puppies aren't too different from a lot of young children. They like having toys and treats and pretty much everything else to themselves. So when a baby joins Pippa's family and seems to be getting all the attention, Pippa becomes jealous and even a bit angry.

But Pippa soon learns love is the answer. She discovers she is still loved very much, and that helping and loving her sister makes her feel really, really good.

Inspired by Pippa, a real-life therapy dog, veteran counselors Sissy Goff and David Thomas share a relatable, gentle story to help kids think beyond themselves and move past the jealousy that crops up between siblings and others.
