Heart-warming story of a small, shy rescue dog who wants a family, but is afraid of everything. Ellie is afraid of people. Afraid of big dogs. Afraid of coming out of her hiding place. Could the family of her dreams be a strange little dog named Stanley with a funny crooked nose? Will he help to give her the courage she needs? Perfect picture book to read before anxious times in a child's life. The first day of school, a foster child finding a new family, going away to camp for the first time, welcoming a new sister or brother, joining a blended family as a stepbrother or stepsister -- It's OK, Ellie! is an inspiring story for all of the anxiety inducing moments that challenge us, but also help us grow and allow us to practice being brave. Loved by all children, especially boys and girls ages 4 - 8, as well as adults. The length and ease of reading makes for a quick read at nap or bedtime or for teachers and daycare providers during story-time. Older sisters and brothers will also enjoy reading this to their younger siblings, and it makes a great beginner and early reader book for fledgling readers. Simple story with valuable lessons. Through Ellie, children will learn how to self soothe and keep calm in stressful situations; be more empathetic and supportive to other "new kids"; navigate the dynamics of foster family situations, adoptions, and step families; and build confidence for facing new experiences and dealing with change. As a bonus, it also helps kids gain compassion for shelter animals, and understand dog behavior and emotions. Characters with which children can relate! Dogs as the protagonists and subjects hold the audience's interest, and they are the perfect characters to encourage exploration of emotions and topics like fear, happiness, hope, stress, and relief. Readers can't help but fall in love with Ellie and relate to her awkwardness and bashfulness. We've all been in uncertain circumstances where we just needed some support and encouragement in finding our strength. We've all needed a friend. Opportunities to learn and practice life skills. It's OK, Ellie! expands a child's vocabulary, reinforces counting to ten, builds on color recognition, and teaches the value of making friends and the power of friendship. Join Ellie on this heartwarming journey and help her to know it's OK to be scared. It's what we do when life throws us challenges that matters. And, sometimes, all we need is a friendly face to help us find our bravery.

Autorenporträt
After a successful career as a graphic and web designer in the 2000s, Moe Park took a challenging and rewarding detour into health informatics, data management, and business analysis. However, similar to many, COVID caused a reckoning and reassessment of life goals, and, in this case, a passionate return to the opalescent world of art and design. Currently, Moe lives in the Pacific Northwest with canine best friends Stanley and Ellie, both of whom are the subjects of this children's book.
