Liliana's Match: How Animals Help Kids with ADHD and Anxiety

By Victoria M Smith

Liliana has a big heart, a busy mind, and energy that's hard to keep bottled up. Most days, the world feels like it's moving too fast, and Liliana's not always sure how to keep up. Then one afternoon, she meets Bella a spirited Beagle with a wagging tail and the kind of energy Liliana understands. Their connection is instant. But just as quickly as Bella appears, she's gone. Liliana is heartbroken to learn that Bella's owner took her to the local animal shelter, hoping she'd have a better chance of finding the perfect home.

Liliana's Match: Finding Bella is a heartwarming story of friendship, hope, and second chances. As Liliana sets out to reunite with Bella, she learns that being understood is one of the greatest feelings in the world-and sometimes, the perfect match is the one who sees your energy not as a problem, but as a gift. Perfect for kids navigating big feelings or new beginnings, this uplifting tale celebrates the special bond between children and rescue animals.
