Storytime with Paws with a Cause

We are so excited to partner with Paws with a Cause on a special storytime event! Miss Margaret will read a book about therapy dogs, and afterwards, there will be time for kids to ask our visiting Paws with a Cause team about the work that they do.

Please note that one therapy dog will be present while we read our story.

We love seeing who is planning to join us! Your RSVP helps us prepare to host you.

About the Book:

Madeline Finn is training her dog Star to become a therapy dog. Will they pass the test? A beautiful story of empathy, perseverance, and community from Lisa Papp.

Madeline Finn and Star are off to Walker Oaks, a retirement community where Star will take his tests to become a therapy dog. Accompanied by Mom, Mrs. Dimple, and Bonnie the library dog, Madeline and Star make their way through a variety of challenges and meet several new friends.

But Madeline Finn can't stop thinking about an elderly man in a wheelchair who never smiles. Is there something she and Star can do to help?

Author-illustrator Lisa Papp's empathetic, feel-good story explores the therapy dog training process and provides a realistic and appealing example of a young person making a difference. Paired with warm, gentle illustrations, this book is ideal for social emotional learning and discussions about self-esteem, volunteering, community, and—of course—therapy animals.
