About Liliana’s Match: Finding Bella: How Animals Help Kids with ADHD and Anxiety by Victoria Smith
Liliana’s Match: Finding Bella is a warm, empowering story about a spirited little girl with ADHD who often feels “too much” for the world around her. When Liliana visits the local animal shelter, she meets Bella—a high-energy Beagle who’s been overlooked because she can’t seem to calm down either.
From the moment they lock eyes, something magical happens. Liliana realizes Bella isn’t “too much” at all—she’s just like her. As the two form an unbreakable bond, Bella helps Liliana find focus, courage, and a sense of belonging she’s never felt before. And when Liliana adopts Bella, both girl and dog discover that the right friend can change everything.
Filled with heart, humor, and hope, this story shows children that their energy is a gift, and that love—whether from family, friends, or a furry companion—can help them navigate big feelings with confidence. It’s the perfect book for families looking to support children with ADHD, anxiety, or social struggles through a fun, relatable, and uplifting adventure.
The e-book will be free on December 19th, 2025 on Amazon.
