Molly never eats her vegetables, is very messy, and does her best to miss the school bus. On top of that, she is struggling to find a talent to share with her class. But with the help of her lovable dog, Mojo, Molly discovers a special gift that brings comfort and joy to others. Every child has a special talent to offer, even the most mischievous!

"I love stories with children and animals, and Mischievous Molly Discovers Her Gift certainly delivered. Not only does it tackle social issues with young children, but it brings to light how wonderful it is to adopt an animal from a rescue shelter. Young Molly learned many things from her new furry best friend, and not only did Mojo teach Molly what she is not so good at, but she went on to show the world what she truly does excel at - making people happy in the Therapy Dog Program.  Nancy Hallowell and Afsoon Kelly's beautifully written tale now takes pride of place with the wonderful books on my bookshelf, and I highly recommend it be read by those aged 5-12 years of age, as well as all animal lovers."

"I bought this book for my grandsons, who much like Molly, stir up mischief and share abundant kindness with their happy-go-lucky dog. I’m super impressed to learn the authors brought this story to life, not by happenstance but through Co-Author Nancy Hallowell's own experience as a pet therapy volunteer. I can’t wait to share this book with my grandsons and talk about discovering their unique gifts. What an uplifting message. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!  "
