A pet search complicated by allergies

Maggie’s wish for a puppy takes an unexpected turn when a birthday visit to choose one reveals that she is severely allergic to furry animals. At home, her parents are focused on preparing for a new baby, while her twin brothers seem absorbed in their own world. The graphic novel brings these family circumstances together with Maggie’s effort to find a pet, framing the search around belonging, friendship, and adapting to a difficult limitation. The author draws on her own experience with allergies, and Michelle Mee Nutter provides the illustrations.
