allergies who just wants to find the perfect pet!
At home, Maggie is the odd one out. Her parents are preoccupied with
getting ready for a new baby, and her younger brothers are twins and

is the answer, but when she goes to select one on her birthday, she
breaks out in hives and rashes. She's severely allergic to anything with
fur!
Can Maggie outsmart her allergies and find the perfect pet? With
illustrations by Michelle Mee Nutter, Megan Wagner Lloyd draws on her
own experiences with allergies to tell a heartfelt story of family,
friendship, and finding a place to belong.
