Loved it! 😍
Such an amazing story about not letting anything in life get in the way of us living it happily!
SYNOPSIS
Trixie was the smallest puppy in the litter. She was the smallest Bernese Mountain dog you would ever see. She was curious and loved being with her littermates. As she grew, it became clear that there was something wrong…she was blind! Trixie found it hard, but over time, she learned to live her life with a bouncy happiness that would never waiver. Trixie learned to find her brothers and sisters by sound and enjoyed every moment with them and her owner. One day, her sight returned. As Trixie grew, she had difficulties running, jumping, and climbing, but she never lost her spirit.
The Imperfectly Perfect Puppy is a loveable and endearing story about disabilities and overcoming obstacles. It is the perfect book for parents, teachers, and caregivers of kids 3-9 to start discussions on accepting others and facing challenges. This is the second book in the Life Lessons from Dogs children’s series of books.
Trixie was born as the smallest puppy in her litter. She could not find her way around or play as easily with her brothers and sisters. It turned out, Trixie was blind and also had trouble with her legs that kept her from jumping or running comfortably.
Despite all of that, Trixie’s fun spirit kept shining through. She was happy, curios, kind to other dogs, loved playing, and tried her best to learn new things!
In time, Trixie suddenly managed to see, her sight improved, and her legs were hers to command. Life was very difficult for Trixie at first, but that did not stop her from enjoying every part of it and developing her own super-power of helping other dogs.
The story is incredibly sweet. It teaches children who suffer from difficulties not to let these difficulties define the quality of their life and to keep living life to the fullest because – just like Trixie – they are loved and can overcome anything. It also teaches children to be kind and more patient with others who are suffering or who are different from them because – deep down – we are all the same and just want to have fun in life.
The book is about accepting our own differences and those of others, not allowing anything to limit us, and facing everything that comes our way with a smile and a strong spirit.
I recommend this book to anyone with kids who wants to introduce them to such valuable life lessons.
