Anxiety.
Is there anyone who has not experienced it? Doubtful.
In Good Boy, Hirsch introduces us to Charlie, and right away we see that Charlie suffers from debilitating anxiety, which causes him to vomit.
Not good.
Enter Ralph, the rescue dog Charlie's parents have adopted. Charlie has always wanted a dog, but can he handle the new anxieties that come with training an unpredictable dog?
Hirsch weaves a humorous and thoughtful approach to handling anxiety in this new graphic novel.
Readers of all ages will devour this one.

This is a great school aged book especially for kids who have anxiety. Not only is this a book that can relate to the minority, but it also depicts a theme of resilience. I love the imagery used to depict anxiety and feel that this would be a great book to introduce to schools and libraries.
