A young girl is afraid of dogs, and a small dog is afraid of children in this funny, big-hearted picture book about overcoming fear to find friendship.

Jia runs from every dog—big, tiny, spotted, or shaggy.

Charlie the French bulldog hides from every kid—behind couches, laundry, even grown-ups’ legs.

When something far scarier forces these two together, they discover a sweet surprise: a friend who understands.
