Small Dog, Big City

By Elizabeth Ackerman

Book Overview

Small Dog, Big City follows Maple, a tiny, caramel-furred dog as she steps outside her West Village apartment and faces the great big city. The rumbling garbage trucks and towering buildings feel overwhelming... until the neighborhood begins to say hello back.

Told in warm, playful rhyme, the story takes readers on an emotional journey from fear to confidence. Along the way, it captures the whimsical, one-of-a-kind spirit of New York City in one of its most beloved neighborhoods and the universal feeling of finding your confidence, one small step at a time.
