Engaging Picture Book Helps 3- to 6-Year-Olds Overcome Fear- meet a nervous dog who learns to cope- kids discover they can try new things without fear- from counselor and bestselling author David ThomasOwen is 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. From veteran counselors and bestselling authors Sissy Goff and David Thomas, The Daystar Dogs series follows Owen and his furry friends at the little yellow house in Nashville. As the puppies, and the kids they help, navigate hard situations, children will discover how to regulate emotions, develop necessary social skills, and discover the difference each puppy--and child--can make. Heartwarming and helpful, these books speak to the heart of what your child needs emotionally, socially, and spiritually today.

3 ⭐Owen is a dog and they are trained for therapy work. This book is very repetitive. It‘s Owen learning and then kids learning and then relearning with adults and relearning with grandparent. It‘s Long and Dan out for no reason. The story is a nice story. The artwork is nice. And I know this book is by Bethany house, which is a religious publisher.

LibrarianRyan And except for the last part Which is an info graphic about feelings, they manage not to mention God wants, which is nice because it means this book is more approachable and more usable by non-Christian readers. 2d
