Welcome Home, Margot Flamingo!
Cosette can't wait for her family's new dog to arrive, but when Margot Flamingo comes home, things don't go exactly how she imagined. Cosette hopes Margot Flamingo will be an instant friend, but making new friends isn't so easy.
“Welcome Home, Margot Flamingo,” is the first book in the Margot Flamingo Children’s Book Series where you will meet Margot Flamingo and Cosette for the first time. It’s a story that shows children how to develop a loving, lasting relationship with dogs by understanding their needs and behavior. You’ll follow Cosette on the journey of anticipation to welcome Margot Flamingo home, learn how she prepared, what unexpected things happened and the discovery of how empathy can help her better relate to her new dog.
Children will fall in love with Margot Flamingo’s lovable antics and find a relatable new best friend in Cosette. Through this adorable duo, children will also discover caring for and training their dog isn’t just for grown ups!
Parents will gain an understanding of how to set expectations and create the right environment for a new dog through the story and additional resource pages. Parents will also find ways to talk to their children about positive reinforcement training, safety, and a dog’s body language.
Through this discovery as a family, children will also be introduced to empathy and understanding others through the eyes of their pet. We believe that empowering children to understand a dog's needs and behaviors helps to develop social emotional skills, while simultaneously building a loving and lasting relationship with their pet.
