Sitting with Dogs: Stories of Rescue Dogs Going from Lost to Loved
by Rocky Kanaka
Instant New York Times Bestseller Heartwarming stories of loss, rescue, and love from social media star and dog-rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka Rocky Kanaka is known the world over as a dog rescue advocate. His millions of fans follow along each week as Rocky visits shelters and finds dogs in need. He often finds the most hopeless cases--dogs that have been abandoned because they're sick or their owners can no longer care for them, or they've never had a home and have been living on the street--and helps them find their forever homes. Through patience, kindness, and love, Rocky helps dogs trust and love again, even if it's just for the short time Rocky visits with them in the shelter. Sitting with Dogs is a collection of stories about nine rescue dogs that each got off to a rough start but found their way into Rocky's arms. From the story of Flip, Rocky's first rescue and his inspiration for dedicating his life to saving lost and abandoned dogs, to Macy, who was so emaciated when she arrived at the shelter that no one thought she would survive, Rocky's stories will tug at your heart, bring a smile to your face, and maybe even inspire you to give a little of your own time to a dog in need. And you don't need to be a dog expert to make a difference. With a little love and patience, you can do exactly what Rocky does--change lives.

But I'm Bored!: Discover the Power of Independent Play to Raise Confident, Resilient Kids
by Lizzie Assa
Good Inside meets Fair Play in this inspiring, real-world guide to fostering independent play in children--both as a vital skill for kids' development and an essential act for modern parents' well-being and sanity. But I'm bored. Parents constantly hear these three dreaded words from their kids, and it's no secret why--our kids don't know how to play by themselves anymore and make their own fun. Busy schedules, on-demand screens, and safety concerns have transformed the landscape of play for children today, and parents have been unfairly expected to fill in the gap. We love our kids, but we don't need to play with them 24/7 to be a good parent! Independent play is Lizzie Assa's specialty, and she has become the go-to expert on the topic.
