Just Like Millie

Lauren Castillo, illustrated by Lauren Castillo

After moving with her mother to an apartment in a new city, a young girl feels at ease at home but is deeply shy around new people. Invitations to play with neighbors or attend story time make her cry. Then her mother brings home Millie, a rescue dog who sleeps beside her bed and joins her on three daily walks. Millie’s friendly manner attracts people, and the girl gradually feels safe enough to recognize familiar faces and say hello.
