Description

When Lady is brought home from the animal shelter, she feels overwhelmed by the busy world around her, full of unfamiliar dogs, people, sounds, and smells. She doesn't know what to do with her big feelings! But with love and patience from her human, April, Lady learns tricks to help her feel safe, and even makes a new friend. Some days she feels brave, and some days she just needs space.

As Lady navigates her emotional journey, we witness the transformative power of friendship and support from her dedicated caretaker and a newfound companion. This touching tale reminds us that sometimes we all need space, help to discover our bravery, and support to be our true selves."

"This beautifully written and heartfelt story brings the importance of empathy and friendship to life in a way both children and adults can appreciate. Through the lens of a dog who needs space, the book encourages understanding, patience, and kindness, while celebrating the joy of making connections with others. A truly wonderful resource that touched my heart."
