Adorable dogs + a sprinkle of magic + a celebration of social emotional learning! Yip! Yip! Hooray! A little magic can save the day! A mission like no other has the Love Puppies stuck. Eliana has excellent basketball skills, and Barkley knows she's talented enough to make the school team--that is, if she can figure out how to be a good teammate. How are the pups supposed to help someone who has no interest in sharing the ball, playing nice, or making friends? With a little bit of magic and a whole lot of kindness, the Love Puppies will have to work hard to figure out how to really help Eliana. Anything is paw-sible with the power of love!
