Murray is a dog with a very long list of things that make him nervous. The loud boom of fireworks sends him hiding, the barking dogs at the local park make his paws tremble, and he definitely does not want to step outside when it is raining. You will completely understand his worries as the big, noisy world seems entirely overwhelming. But with a little bit of patience and a lot of gentle encouragement, Murray slowly begins to realize that he is stronger than his fears. He discovers that wearing a raincoat keeps him dry, and saying hello to other dogs can actually lead to new friendships. This tender, reassuring tale is a beautiful reminder that bravery takes time, and you do not have to be fearless to be brave.
