Madeline struggles with reading and yearns to earn a star sticker from her teacher rather than a heart that says "Keep Trying." Persistence pays off in this heartwarming story when Madeline improves her skills while reading aloud to Bonnie, a dog involved in a canine library program. Realistic pencil and watercolor illustrations colored digitally chronicle the young girl's progress as she gains confidence.
