Reach for this book when your child is facing the heartbreak of a physical limitation or allergy that stands in the way of a big dream. Laura desperately wants a pet, but her allergies turn every encounter with a furry friend into a sneezing fit. It is a gentle exploration of the frustration children feel when their bodies prevent them from doing what they love most. Through Laura's journey, the story validates the sadness of 'no' while celebrating the joy of finding an unexpected 'yes.' This early reader or read-aloud is perfect for the 4 to 8 age range. It balances the realistic struggle of chronic allergies with a warm, sibling-focused resolution. Parents will appreciate how it models problem-solving and persistence without being overly didactic, showing that while we cannot always change our circumstances, we can change our approach to finding happiness.
