In this delightful children's book, we get to ride the waves with a wonderful pup who reminds us that it's okay to be scared, and never give up.  This story resonates with me in all three of the roles I live; as a dog lover, an author, and a mom. 


Stories for children should clearly describe a problem or fear, and then help little ones understand a clear path to growing past the challenge.  This story about a fearful pup who learns to trust his human and conquer the waves checks that box easily, with a flow that is simple for children to understand and fun for adults to read.  It is unusual to find a dog who surfs, and this story, while depicting true events, tickles at the imagination, encouraging little minds to believe nothing is impossible. 


The illustrations are bright and fun, while remaining realistic.  The illustrations are a strong artistic impression of James and Church. They remind us that this story is about real life, while remaining whimsical. 


This is a book, that if my son was still young, would certainly be on his "most requested" list of fun stories... and honestly, it's on mine, too.
