Series: Tails of Charlotte

Charlotte loves swimming, splashing, and playing fetch - but when she discovers dock diving, she faces a brand-new challenge: jumping from the high dock into the big pool! At first, the leap feels scary. Charlotte hesitates, wiggles, and wonders if she can really do it.

With patience, practice, and encouragement from her human, Charlotte learns to wait for her cue, stay focused, and keep trying - even when it's hard. And when she finally soars through the air and makes her biggest splash yet, Charlotte discovers that the best leaps come from believing in yourself.

This inspiring, true-to-life story is perfect for children learning:

How to face fears and try new things The power of practice and persistence Patience, waiting their turn, and following cues That every ""splash"" is a step toward success

With lively illustrations and an uplifting message, Charlotte Takes a Leap is a heartwarming story that will have young readers cheering for Charlotte - and eager to take their own leaps, too!

Perfect for kids ages 4-8 and anyone who loves dogs, water fun, and stories about courage and determination.
