""Laura Filtness's debut children's book, My Brain Is Like a Puppy! is paws-itively heartwarming! In the story, Brooklyn takes her energetic new puppy to school to learn how to focus, only to realize that the lessons her puppy is learning mirror her own experiences in life, from dealing with gossip and peer pressure to managing test anxiety and distractions. With its playful text and charming illustrations, the story delivers an empowering message: it's okay to be energetic and distracted sometimes. But with focus and patience, we can learn to manage emotions and challenges. This delightful story is a tail-wagging success!"" -Ashley Bartley, School Counselor, MEd, NCC ""My Brain Is Like a Puppy! is a 'one-stop shop' book that covers lots of useful topics for kids - calming down strong feelings, growth mindset, and study skills, just to name a few. Boss and his human, Brooklyn, show one another compassion when it's needed most. What a fun, helpful story for kids of all ages!"" -Cheri L. Elkins, MS, School Counselor ""My Brain Is Like a Puppy! is a beautiful, fun depiction of what is happening inside the brain of my own child, but also the brains of many of my students! This story is a wonderful tool to help explain to kids, teachers, and parents what it's like when someone has difficulty slowing their brain down. The follow-up strategies are so helpful, and they are very practical for use in various settings!"" -Emily Fain-Lynch, MA, LSC, School Counselor, and Parent of child with ADHD ""This book is perfect for sharing with students who need help understanding how their brain works and what they can do to train their 'inner puppy.' I can't wait to add it to our school library!"" -Elizabeth Shepherd, School Librarian
