Stella, Unleashed

Reach for this book when your family is navigating the delightful chaos of a new pet or if your child is struggling to understand why their furry friend behaves in such unpredictable ways. It is a perfect choice for smoothing the transition after a pet adoption, helping children view their high energy dog through a lens of empathy rather than frustration. Written from the perspective of Stella, a spirited rescue dog, the story follows her daily adventures from morning wake-up calls to backyard explorations. Through bouncy, rhythmic verse, the book explores themes of belonging, the learning curve of house rules, and the unconditional love that defines the human-animal bond. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning that being part of a family means embracing each other's quirks and messes.
