A heartfelt, gently rhyming picture book that captures what it feels like to meet your new best friend for the very first time.

I'm a little bit scared. This is all very new. I want to be friends. But what should I do?

On a bright, sunny morning, a little boy goes to the animal shelter with his family. Today is a special day; the boy and his new rescue puppy are finally going to meet! Their emotions, uncertainties and hopes mirror each other as they take their first tentative steps towards friendship and promise to be there for each other, forever and always.

With touching words that can be read from the point of view of the boy or the dog this book is a wonderful tool for teaching empathy – an ideal gift to help children understand how to approach a new pet and gently welcome their new best friend into their forever home. Beautifully illustrated throughout with soft, heart-melting artwork by renowned illustrator Chuck Groenink.
