Don't Be Afraid Rocky
Rocky the Puppy is excited to spend the day at the beach. But when the wind sends sand flying into her eyes, the sun's hot rays beam down and the waves overwhelmed her over, Rocky becomes overwhelmed with worry.
Should Rocky turn tail and go home? Or maybe she just needs to meet new friends, who help her overcome her fears and ride the waves.
This is a powerful story of how friendship and gratitude can bring joy to every moment, calming even the mightiest tides, while encouraging children to believe in themselves.
