Review Quotes:
★ "Molk's artwork alone could carry the story, but paired with the playful text, it becomes an irresistible read-aloud about friendship, surprises, and learning to make room for someone new." -- School Library Journal, starred review

"This story will speak to young readers adapting to a life change, especially those dealing with complicated sibling relationships.... A funny and meaningful animal tale." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Together, the text and illustrations celebrate adaptability, empathy, and unexpected friendship, making this a fun and engaging addition to any children's collection." -- Booklist

Biographical Note:
Laurel Molk's career started by selling her drawings to her neighbors--a penny a drawing, or six for a nickel. Later she went on to pursue drawing at RISD. Laurel now directs her talents toward illustrating and writing children's books. She has published several books and has exhibited in shows at the Society of Illustrators. Laurel Molk lives outside of Boston with her family and a very large dog named Calvin.

Publisher Marketing:
A funny and adorable look at the age-old cats vs dogs issue that will appeal to cat lovers and dog lovers as well as anyone looking for a story about accepting big changes.

Lulu's life was good. She had a window seat in the sun, tuna for breakfast, salmon for dinner, and a comfy lap for long naps. And then her mother said the worst thing a loving cat mom could ever say: "We're getting a rescue dog to keep you company!" Lulu didn't want a dog! Think of the germs! Slobber on her water bowl. Drool on her toys? Her worst nightmare. And Gus was all that and more. Of course Gus was obsessed with Lulu and followed her everywhere. What's a fine feline to do?

In this sweet tale of opposites forced to live together, Lulu learns to appreciate the canine brother she never wanted but ultimately needed. This story will be a great conversation starter for anyone looking to address new siblings and other big changes.
