About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with self-worth or feeling like they do not fit in with the 'cool' crowd. It is a perfect choice for the little one who has been told they are too small, too slow, or just not quite right by peers or siblings. Alfred is a pug who is constantly belittled by other animals until he meets a new neighbor and discovers that his worth is not defined by others' opinions. This story gently explores themes of loneliness, bullying, and the pressure to change oneself to fit in. Through Alfred's journey, children learn that true friendship comes from being honest about who you are. Best suited for ages 4 to 8, it provides a safe space to talk about the 'little' things that make us feel 'less than' and the power of finding someone who appreciates us exactly as we are.
