Learning how to cope with big feelings is hard. Kids can learn from Little Ruby as she searches for a way to feel calmer and more confident.

Ruby, the puppy, was a big bundle of nerves. She worried about everything and thought something was wrong with her. But she had a big dream: to be a therapy dog and help others feel calm and happy. With the guidance of her wise animal friends, she learns how to quiet her mind and body and turn her once-wobbly nerves into a beautiful gift she can share with the world. Follow this sweet pup's journey as she bravely overcomes her fears, discovers her special purpose, and becomes a real therapy dog. This heartwarming tale inspires young readers to embrace their unique qualities and believe in themselves, just like Little Ruby!
