When Dad leaves for work, Sam’s young owner feels a bit lost. Fortunately, Sam is there to provide some excellent dog life-lessons. Together we learn that being ‘more dog’ is a superpower, but not the kind that involves wearing a costume. No, it means being happy all the time. Sam shows just how you can achieve that, even when it’s raining or you’re feeling a bit wobbly and lost.
Children will enjoy following Sam and his owner through their day’s activities, and there are real lessons to learn that, when applied, will make readers more resilient and improve all our daily lives.
My dog Sam has a superpower. He doesn't wear a costume. He can't fly. And he definitely can't make himself invisible. Sam's superpower is happiness. Sam can find happiness in the most unexpected places: a smelly old boot, a deflated ball, even in a muddy puddle!
