This book is a story of a young child's experience of going to school for the first time and leaving home. She takes her puppy with her for moral support and, in doing so, learns a lesson on sharing, having fun, and meeting new people. Her kindergarten experience turns out to be not only wonderful but a year of excitement and joy.

This is the author's second book about "Stories from the Front Steps." Her dad told stories to her as well as her sister and two brothers every night before bedtime on the front steps of their home. Because he was blind, he did not read from a book, but told them very imaginative stories with lovable and very funny characters. The author wanted to continue his legacy by sharing some of his imaginary characters for all to enjoy.
