Klappentext
Stevie loves three things: basketball, his mom and dad, and pickles.
Until the day a dog named Bo lunges for the pickle in Stevie's hand - and misses.
The bite healed in a few weeks. The fear takes much longer.
The Pickle, the Patch, and the Puppy is a warm, honest picture book about what happens AFTER something scary. When Stevie's Brain Alarm won't stop going off, his mom draws him a Bravery Ladder with four rungs to climb. One small step at a time, Stevie learns that brave doesn't mean not scared. Brave means scared - and you do it anyway.
The Brain Alarm, the Patch, and the Bravery Ladder become family vocabulary that outlasts the book. The approach reflects a real strategy used by child therapists - gradual exposure - in language a four-year-old can follow. Warm, textured illustrations bring Stevie's world to life, and a quiet closing scene reminds young readers that healing is not a straight line - but it is possible.
PERFECT FOR:
Children ages 4-10 who have been frightened by a dog
Kids working through anxiety after any scary moment - a fall, a car accident, a medical procedure
Parents looking for a gentle way to talk about big feelings
Pediatricians and child therapists building a bibliotherapy shelf
Dog-owning families teaching safe interactions with pets
Grandparents and gift-givers looking for a meaningful book
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Jason Plotkin is the founder of Pinder Plotkin Legal Team and has represented Maryland families in personal injury cases for two decades, with a focus on child dog bite recovery. He is also the bestselling author of Crash Course: To Recovery and Beyond. When he was five, he was bitten by a black lab named Bo who was just trying to grab a pickle. The bite healed. The Brain Alarm took longer. He wrote the book he wished had existed - for every kid still climbing their ladder, and for the grown-ups who love them.
This book is about fear that passes, kindness that returns, and the small, brave steps that carry a child forward.
