They are friendly, but a bit wild. They scamper through her thoughts, yap at the door to her dreams, and scratch at her brain, begging to be let out. So Molly starts to draw them. <p/> When Molly draws dogs, she feels better--but not everyone can see the value of her strange habit. Her teacher tells her to focus. A special tutor urges her to concentrate. But Molly can't erase the dogs, even if she wants to. As her anxiety peaks, Molly runs away. Once she is found, safe and sound, people around Molly realize the protective power of her pack and how the dogs help tame her troubled feelings. <p/> Inspired by the Japanese folktale, The Boy Who Drew Cats, this story celebrates the healing powers of art and imagination while touching on important issues of anxiety, mental health, and ways to cope with emotions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Deborah] Kerbel offers poetic and prescient insight into mental wellness, without a whiff of didacticism.-- "Quill & Quire - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>An artful plea for emotional acceptance.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>Deborah Kerbel's text is astute but profound...
