Leo and Sparky: The Magic of Feelings

Meet Leo and his extraordinary best friend, Sparky!

Every child has "big feelings," but Leo has a special way to understand them. In this vibrant and heart-centered story, Leo—a young boy with a fresh taper and a big heart—navigates the ups and downs of his day with his magical dog, Sparky, by his side.

Sparky isn't your average pup. He is an American Bully with a magical coat that changes color to match exactly how Leo is feeling inside:

• Bright Yellow when Leo is bursting with joy.

• Hot Red when things get a little frustrating.

• Soft Green when everything is finally calm and bright.
