Digby and the Need to Dig: A book about addiction

By Kid Sherlock

A heartfelt children's story about big feelings, small habits, and the power of helping friends. In a quiet town where shoes keep disappearing and mysterious holes appear overnight, lives a little brown puppy named Digby. Digby doesn't steal because he wants to--he digs because he has to. Every day, he feels a pull he can't explain... and shoes give him the reason he needs. But when his secret is uncovered by caring friends and a clever little bloodhound named Sniff, Digby begins a journey of understanding his behavior, facing the mess he's made, and learning he doesn't have to do it alone. This gentle, beautifully illustrated story uses warmth and whimsy to help children understand what it's like when someone can't stop doing something--even when it hurts others.
