About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has had a 'bad day' marked by a significant mistake, a broken rule, or a meltdown that left them feeling like the 'bad kid.' It is the perfect tool for restoring connection after a period of high tension or discipline. The story follows a mischievous dog who, after being scolded, believes he is no longer wanted and runs away. Through his journey and eventual return, the book beautifully illustrates that while our actions have consequences, our place in the family is secure. It is a gentle, humorous exploration of shame and the relief of being welcomed back with open arms. Parents will appreciate how it de-escalates the weight of a mistake, making it an ideal choice for preschoolers learning to navigate the big emotions of guilt and the necessity of saying sorry.
