Bookroo's summary

An invisible orphaned puppy, Nothing at All, is left behind when his brothers are adopted. Lonely and unseen, he meets a clever Jackdaw who promises a way to make him visible. As Nothing at All follows the bird's peculiar advice, he embarks on a dizzying journey of self-discovery. Will his efforts finally lead him to the family he longs for, or will he remain unseen forever? Discover the heartwarming tale of friendship, perseverance, and the magic of being truly seen.

From the publisher

“Nothing at All” is the name of an orphaned puppy living with his two brothers until two children come to adopt them. Unfortunately, Nothing at All gets inadvertently left behind–not out of cruelty, but because he is invisible!He is horribly lonely until he meets a bird, a Jackdaw, who says that he knows how to make the puppy visible. Nothing at All doesn’t think much of the bird at first, but follows the instructions anyway, and after a little time, hard work, and a lot of dizziness, the puppy becomes visible and is adopted along with his brothers.
