About The Book

🌟 Oliver’s Tale of Courage is a heartwarming story about Oliver, a brave service dog who suddenly faces something scary, a trip to the dentist for a toothache! With support from his owner and his big sister, Florence, Oliver learns that true courage isn’t just about helping others, it’s also about facing your fears and accepting help when you need it. Filled with warmth and an important message about bravery, vulnerability, and connection, this story resonates with young readers and families alike.
