This confidence-building picture book is all about trying new things, embracing difference, encouraging our friends and defying stereotypes

Dave the dog wants to dance, but the wise pooches at the park bark in shock.

“Stick to digging holes, chasing cats and chewing footballs. Stick to fetching sticks!”

Dave leaves with his tail between his legs. But will he let their words stop him? Or maybe, just maybe, he can convince them to change their minds.
