A Tale of Confidence, Compassion, and Tap Shoes
Elle Madeline loves tap dancing but freezes with stage fright — and when her teammates poke fun, her dreams nearly stop. K9 Fitzgerald, now a caring K9 officer, finds her distraught outside the studio and brings her into a circle of support: Officer Tommy, Marian the Librarian, and Lela, a gentle comfort dog. With patient practice, simple relaxation techniques taught by Lela, and encouragement from her new friends, Elle rebuilds her confidence one tap at a time. The tale peaks at the recital, where Elle steps on stage with calm and joy — proving that courage grows with kindness and companionship.
A tender picture book for children and caregivers, K9 Fitzgerald Sniffs Out Bullies: Lela The Comfort Dog celebrates empathy, overcoming anxiety, and the healing power of animal friendship.
