Dog is Patient - Hardcover

Patience is becoming harder to teach in our fast-paced world, where everything is available with the click of a button. As parents themselves, the author and illustrator of Dog is Patient experience firsthand the stress and anxiety this "on-demand" mentality can often cause for families, always racing from one thing to the next without a moment to pause and reflect. With simple prose and colorful, engaging pictures, Dog is Patient shows kids the benefits of waiting it out even when it's tough...and, with humor and heart, the consequences of rushing things.

Dog is Patient follows four friends as they wait for the bus to school one rainy day, offering a relatable story about the emotions at play during decision-making, and how to hold your own among peers - even when your opinion might not be the most popular one.
