Shiloh’s First Day of School is a heartwarming and educational children’s story that helps young readers deal with big emotions, build self-confidence, and learn about friendship through the eyes of a lovable Goldendoodle puppy.
Written by Dr. SonRia (Dr. Maria C. Rutherford, Ph.D.), this beautifully illustrated story follows Shiloh, a young service dog in training, as he experiences his very first day at school. With Trainer Liz's guidance and support from his furry classmates, Shiloh discovers that it’s okay to feel nervous and that bravery comes from believing in yourself.
Using the Tucker Turtle Technique, children learn calming strategies that show them how to stop, breathe, and think before reacting. Along the way, Shiloh’s journey gently promotes emotional regulation, resilience, kindness, and teamwork.
Perfect for classroom reading, therapy sessions, or bedtime, Shiloh’s First Day of School encourages children to say, “I can do this!” just like Shiloh.
This book is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, counselors, and dog lovers alike.
