Book Summary
DOG, WHAT CAN I DO? by Sarah Robinson is a warm and child-friendly picture book that teaches children how to handle difficult emotions in healthy ways. Through a dog and other animal friends, the book explores feelings such as worry, sadness, fear, anger, loneliness, overwhelm, and uncertainty. Each animal introduces a simple coping strategy, such as movement, breathing, counting, asking for help, imagining a safe place, writing a letter, cooling down, or taking small steps.
The book uses soft watercolor-style illustrations, simple language, and comforting rhythm to make emotional regulation easy for young readers to understand. Since Sarah Robinson is a mental health therapist, yoga instructor, and mother, the book carries a caring and practical tone designed to support children, parents, teachers, and caregivers.
