Stella Blu the cockapoo is on her way across the ocean to a city called Madrid. Stella’s father (a human) is the new U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Stella is going to serve as the Ambassadog. She will make her new home at the U.S. Embassy and represent the United States all across Spain, from parades and palaces to parks and parties. Living in a new country means that Stella will explore a new neighborhood, make new friends, and even learn a new language. Children will love Stella’s international adventures as she learns that living in a new place might seem scary at first, but trying new things can be fun.
