Molly and Potato: A Heartwarming Children’s Story of Love, Healing, and Rescue: A Children’s Book on Courage, Family, and the Healing Power of Pets by Dr. Kelly Curtin (Author), Molly Hallinan (Author)

✨ What if healing meant finding love in the most unexpected place?

Molly always dreamed of having a dog. But when her mom, tired, busy, and fighting cancer, kept saying no, Molly’s hope began to fade. Everything changes when a scruffy shelter pup named Potato wags his way into their lives.

Told in two unique voices—Molly & Potato: A Human Love Story and Potato & Molly: A Canine Love Tail. This heartwarming children’s book shows that healing can mean joy, sadness, and courage all at once.

Written by pediatrician and cancer survivor Dr. Kelly Curtin with her daughter Molly Hallinan, this uplifting story teaches children ages 6–10 that:

● It’s okay to feel happy and sad at the same time

● Love and rescue go both ways

● Hardship can bring new beginnings

� Molly and Potato is a gentle, inspiring read for families, classrooms, and young readers facing challenges big or small. Perfect for fans of Because of Winn-Dixie and A Dog’s Life.

A touching tale of love and courage

Four Point Three Stars

This is not one story but two stories - one told from Molly’s point of view and the other from Potato’s point of view. Molly, a little girl, is coping with her mother’s cancer. Potato is a rescue dog that has not been able to find a home.

It is a touching story as both Molly and Potato help each other through these difficult times.

Soft and powerful book for children in understanding sadness and grief and trying to overcome it.
