by Randy Schaffer (Author)

Ever wondered how you can make a difference? Even a dog can!

Join Jesse the Labradoodle on his first in a series of adventures through daily life in a dog's eyes. As a puppy, he learns how he can make a difference everywhere he goes-at home, doggy daycare, on a boat, and more!

This easy-to-read picture book, packed with meaning and stunning watercolor images, shows young children and their caregivers how anyone can make a difference in their everyday lives. Even a small act of kindness can have a profound ripple effect, and Jesse's good deeds do not go unnoticed.

This colorful and heartfelt story teaches children of all ages about the transformative power of compassion, care, and respect. It beautifully illustrates how one person or a beloved pet can leave a lasting impact on their community and world.
