A school day guided by partnership

Told from guide dog Eltie’s perspective, the story places the work of a guide dog within familiar parts of a child’s day: getting to class, finding food in the cafeteria, and spending time at the park. Molly is blind, and Eltie helps her navigate these settings while also sharing the ordinary pleasures of play and companionship. The school-day frame gives young readers a concrete introduction to how a guide dog supports a person, with friendship and accessibility woven into the pair’s everyday routines.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about dogs and friendship
  • Young readers learning about guide dogs, blindness, and accessibility

Book overview

From social media star and disability advocate Molly Burke comes a sweet story of friendship, connection, and accessibility--as told by Burke's real-life guide dog, Eltie.

Like most dogs, Eltie loves belly rubs, playing in the grass, and spending time with his human, Molly. But there's something that makes Elite different than the other pups at the playground--Eltie's got a job!

His best friend Molly is blind, and she needs Eltie's help to navigate the world. Eltie helps Molly get to class, finds what she wants in the cafeteria (and doesn't take a bite even though it smells really good), and plays with Molly at the park.

Join Molly and Eltie as they work together through the school day and learn all about the important ways guide dogs help their humans.
