Full DescriptionWhether a person is 7 or 70, we all struggle with comparison. We forget why we were created and focus on how we don't measure up to others. President Teddy Roosevelt was right: comparison truly is the "thief of joy!" This beautifully illustrated children's book demonstrates the trouble that can result from the comparison trap, even for an adorable Golden Retriever named Mr. Hobbs, who constantly feels like he doesn't measure up to his best friend and fellow Golden Retriever, Bilbeaux Waggins. Wanting to go along to get along, Hobbs agrees to some seemingly innocent adventures with his best buddy. These two lovable but mischievous pups eventually get into trouble with their escapades in the wonderful little Town of Flourish and nearby Flourish Studios. Mr. Hobbs is crushed that he has disappointed his human and is initially confused when she challenges him to remember his "True North." Then, the doorbell rings. One of his special young friends stops by to see him because she has had a bad day and knows that time with Mr. Hobbs always lifts her spirits. The lightbulb goes on, and Mr. Hobbs realizes that his True North is to love and encourage people. Young people, old people, he loves everyone and gets great joy from making people of all ages smile. Once Mr. Hobbs has this awakening and realizes his True North, he is no longer jealous of his best friend.And he lives happily ever after.Short DescriptionThis book shows the trouble that can come from the comparison trap, even for an adorable dog named Mr. Hobbs, who constantly feels like he doesn't measure up to his best friend.
