Questions about this book

Can the book be about a specific type of pet, like a rescue greyhound?

Yes. Use the "Anything special we should weave in?" box to share the kind of pet you adopted and any funny quirks they have. Since every story is written fresh, it can be crafted around your actual animal.

What if my child is being a little too rough with the new puppy?

You can select Kindness or Care for Nature as the lesson. The story can gently show the child learning to pet softly and give the puppy space when it is tired. You can also rewrite the text of any page after ordering to make the wording perfect for your family.
