A whimsical meditation for little ones learning about the important qualities in a pet—or a friend. Do you want a pet to snuggle when you’re afraid? One who is quiet and slow, or one who will talk to you? There’s so much to consider when choosing a new pet that it can be almost overwhelming! Each person is unique and so is every animal. In this gentle “guide” to finding the perfect pet, author Estelle Laure asks child-like questions to help readers consider the choices. Amy Hevron’s warm acrylic on wood illustrations makes each pet feel lovable—especially the bat, the snake, and the spider! This is a picture book that encourages self-reflection, human individuality, and animal friendship.
