Reach for this book when your child is feeling the pressure of high expectations during a big family event or if they are struggling with the guilt of a well-meaning mistake.

The story follows young Ellie and her mischievous puppy, Rascal, as they prepare for a family wedding where Rascal has the very important role of page-pup. While the tone is lighthearted and humorous, it deeply explores the anxiety of wanting to be helpful and the shame that comes when things go wrong. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's love for their pet while modeling how to handle mishaps with grace. It is perfectly suited for children aged 6 to 9 who are navigating social expectations and learning that love is stronger than a ruined dress or a chaotic ceremony.
