This inviting chapter book series explores health topics through the
friendly lens of therapy dogs. Follow an adorable therapy dog helping a
child through getting stitches, with strong messages of empathy,
kindness, and courage. Therapy dogs are specially trained to help kids
through medical experiences--from lifting spirits, motivating movement,
modeling the power of play, and more. Nonfiction back matter provides
more information about medical topics introduced in the books, from
acute to chronic issues, while also proving more information about
therapy dog programs and the Mayo Clinic Children's Center.
