Meet Pepper, a kind-hearted therapy dog with a golden-red coat and a calm, wagging tail, who helps children feel safe when their feelings feel big. At Riverside Elementary, Pepper and her handler, Ms. Chen, welcome students into a cozy space filled with warmth, patience, and understanding. Through Amara’s journey—learning how to sit with sadness, talk about hard feelings, and find moments of comfort—and Jordan’s courage in facing his fears, this tender story shows how healing can begin with a gentle presence, a listening heart, and a soft furry friend. Perfect for children ages 5–10, this story offers reassurance, emotional awareness, and hope, reminding young listeners that it’s okay to feel many things—and that they don’t have to face those feelings alone.📚 Find all our printable books & coloring pages: https://willowsstorytime.gumroad.com/
