A charming, clever, and reassuring tale about loving (and being loved for) your perfectly-imperfect self. - Chelsea Bromley

From the creator of The Cat Who Couldn't Be Bothered--an Indie Next selection in North America--comes a heartwarming story that helps children embrace imperfection, manage worries about getting things wrong, and learn that mistakes are part of life.

There once was a dog called Doris who was practically perfect in every way. She woke up on time every morning, never forgot to fetch her owner's slippers, and could perform all her tricks flawlessly. Doris loved being perfect.

Until one day, something not-so-perfect happens and Doris panics. Will my owner be sad? Or angry? Or think I'm a bad dog? For the first time, Doris feels unsure of herself.

With a little help from some kind new friends, Doris begins to see things differently. She discovers that it's okay to get things wrong sometimes, and that being imperfect doesn't make her owner love her any less.

This is a charming and emotionally sensitive picture book that explores perfectionism with warmth, humor, and heart.

A hip, visually inspired entry in the growing genre of picture books about perfectionism. - Kirkus Reviews
