Joan In The Cone

*Joan In The Cone* by Joan is a funny, tender picture book about a big-hearted dog learning to navigate life after an injury—one awkward moment at a time. With its playful humour and gentle insight, it’s a delightful story about resilience, embarrassment, and finding new ways to feel brave.

Joan’s days used to be all speed, games, and dog-park glory. Then the dreaded cone arrives. Suddenly she’s stuck in the doggy door, missing her old confidence, and discovering that other dogs can be… noticeably less impressed. As Joan looks back on the choices that led her here, she also starts to notice something unexpected: there’s still plenty of joy beyond the rim of the cone (and sometimes snacks inside it).

Perfect for kids who love dogs, laugh-out-loud family read-alouds, and stories about recovery and self-esteem.

Add it to your next bedtime pile and let Joan win you over.
