A moving new middle-grade novel about a young nonbinary person searching for family and finding it with a sweet rescue dog named Gooseberry B has lived with so many different foster families and youth programs that they have to invent nicknames for them to keep track. Their parents died in a car accident when they were four, and they’ve been moved around ever since. And even though some foster families don’t really get B or why they haven’t picked a new name yet (though B has been grappling with that for a while), B tries their best to stay positive. They try to keep a list of names that might fit, and they dream of being able to live in a home where they could adopt a dog and teach him all sorts of tricks. So when they meet Gooseberry, they know they have to adopt him and give him a loving home. But training a dog isn’t as easy as B first suspected. Gooseberry is anxious and barely even wants to let B pet him. But the queer couple B is staying with, Eri and Jodie, help them to adopt Gooseberry and start training him. Even when Gooseberry snaps and growls, B doesn’t give up. But is this new home enough to change things for good for B and Gooseberry? Moving, heartwarming, and full of hope, Gooseberry is a friendship story classic in the making!Mostra libro

This uplifting story celebrates empathy, courage, and the joy of lifting others up. It’s a gentle spark of inspiration for every child ready to shine. “My purpose, and the intention behind my books, is to guide others from the very beginning to look within themselves and embrace their unique selves and authenticity. We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.” ~Heather VardonMostra libro
