Dogs Don't Dance New by Gemma Atkinson (author) and Lisa Hunt (illustrator)

This confidence-building picture book is all about trying new things, embracing difference, encouraging our friends and defying stereotypes

Stick to fetching sticks!” Dave leaves with his tail between his legs. But will he let their words stop him? Or maybe, just maybe, he can convince them to change their minds.
