A thoughtful Dad created this innovative book to help his 5-year-old son cope with anxiety

Greg Sullivan says he never intended to publish his first book, Gregory Dragon Is Just The Same.

When Jack McCrossan, originally from Scotland, moved to Bristol, England with his three friends, they were bummed out to learn that their landlord didn't allow dogs.
