Synopsis

Two tiny, shivery, silly dogs. One big, happy, forever home.

Emma and Luna are Italian greyhounds who were found as puppies in a box beside a busy road. They were scared of almost everything: loud noises, umbrellas, the vacuum, and even their own reflection. After bouncing from home to home, they had nearly given up on ever finding a place to stay.

Then one gentle hand reached out, and everything began to change.

This warm, funny early reader follows two brave-but-scared rescue dogs on the journey from a cold cardboard box to a couch full of cozy blankets and a family who loves them forever. It is a gentle story about fear, courage, and belonging, written for animal lovers and for any child who needs a reminder that scared little ones find safe homes.

Why young readers and grown-ups love it:

• Level 2 early reader: seven short chapters, simple sentences, and large, easy-to-read type for kids building reading confidence
• A full-page color illustration opens every chapter, painted in soft watercolor
• Based on two real rescued Italian greyhounds, with a photograph of the real Emma and Luna at the back of the book
• A reassuring message for anxious or big-hearted kids: it is okay to be scared and brave at the same time
• The first book in the Emma and Luna series

Curl up, check the couch for hidden dogs, and turn the page. Every page, a new path.
