Description
A picture book about new beginnings, friendship, and learning to be brave
The White Pet is a warm and gently funny picture book for children ages three and up, inspired by a Scottish folktale first heard long ago on the Isle of Islay. There is no other book quite like it.
When White Pet the lamb learns he must leave the only farm he has ever known, he sets off to find somewhere new. Along the way he is joined by Coo the Highland cow, the very opinionated Cat, the ever-enthusiastic Dog, and Rooster, who is absolutely certain he is in charge. Together they discover that the bravest journeys are rarely taken alone.
Told in playful rhyming verses and brought to life through rich watercolor illustrations, this story shows kids that feeling worried and feeling brave can exist at the same time, and that new places start to feel like home when the right friends are beside you.
But here is what parents love most: you never have to say "let's talk about your feelings." The story does it for you. Each page naturally names what White Pet and his friends are experiencing, with a simple, child-friendly explanation that gives children the words they need, right in the moment they need them. By the last page, most kids are already telling you which feeling was theirs.
No other picture book combines genuine Scottish folklore, emotional learning, and a cast of characters this funny and this real, in a way that works equally well for the child listening and the adult reading aloud.
Perfect for any child navigating change: a new home, a new school, a new friend, or simply a day that feels a little uncertain.
The White Pet is part of the Emotional Learning for Children series, designed for families who want emotional conversations to feel like story time, not homework.
