Written by Lisa Van Der Wielen for HeartKids, and illustrated by Anne Farrell, The Pencil Case Art Studio, Echo is a sweet and charming story about the importance of friendship, combining the bond between a boy and a dog with an inspiring message to wear your scars with pride.

In the hospital garden, a great friendship grew,
Between a stray woolly dog and a boy feeling blue.
Alfie just had heart surgery, his chest was feeling sore,
When a little fluffy dog came and offered him a paw.
What happens between the boy and this fleecy pup,
When it's time for his fur to have a tidy up?
