Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the idea that people are either all good or all bad. While it looks like a goofy graphic novel, it is a profound meditation on the power of choosing to be good despite a difficult past. The story follows Dog Man and Li'l Petey as they face a new threat from the Fleas, but the heart of the narrative is Petey, the former villain, who is trying to change his ways for the sake of his son. It addresses themes of empathy, redemption, and the importance of doing the right thing even when it is hard. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor to make complex emotional concepts like restorative justice and parental responsibility accessible for kids aged 6 to 10.
