We had a very special visitor at Dot to Dot this week! đ
We were lucky enough to meet Karyn Connors, author of Kitty and I, and Raffy, the real-life dog behind the story đś
Raffy isnât just a character. Heâs an assistance dog whose connection with Kitty inspired a beautiful story that helps children understand big feelings like anxiety, in a gentle and relatable way.
We also got to spend time with the âcomfortâ Raffy, a soft companion designed to bring calm and reassurance when itâs needed most.
Thereâs something really powerful about the combination of story + connection + comfort, and how these can support children in feeling safe and understood.
Thank you, Karyn, for visiting us (and for the Raffy cuddles!) đž
