In this super cute and playful read-aloud picture book, Roxy is a lovable dog who has lost a leg because she was sick, and is now faced with accepting this difficult new change. She sleeps on the couch and dreams of going to the dog park to play. When she is healed, she finally gets to go. Once there, she sees a dog sitting all alone, looking sad. His name is Maliboo and he is different too. Roxy goes over and tells him about her own experiences and insecurities, which helps Maliboo to overcome his fears. He and Roxy go and play with the other dogs, who accept them just fine despite their unique features. The lesson they both learn is that it's okay to be different.
Roxy's story is meant to give children the confidence to be themselves and not let any differences dictate their self-worth.

Hillary Sussman has been a physical therapist for 23 years. After working with so many clients with disabilities, she was inspired by her dog, Roxy, who has undergone four surgeries, to use her story to help kids who are different to gain more confidence and overcome their physical limitations. The idea just made sense...kids would identify with Roxy and realize, like her, that they should not let those limitations stop them from having a full and exciting life. This is Hillary's first book, but she is planning a whole series featuring Roxy's adventures, with the delightful pup learning something new in each book, meeting new friends, and facing new challenges. Originally from New York, Hillary lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, three children and dog. Her hobbies include jump roping, traveling, and skiing.
