A heartfelt children’s story that celebrates patience, love, and the unique challenges of growing up with a sibling who has special needs.
In her newest release, Mikey Can’t Help It! (Mama Bulldog Book), author Tracey Tozier delivers a warm and relatable story about family, acceptance, and understanding. Fiona and Benny, two French bulldog siblings, are thrilled to welcome their new little brother, Mikey. But when Mikey’s behavior becomes confusing and unpredictable, the family finds themselves on a learning journey filled with frustration, compassion, and discovery.
Through the wise guidance of Mama Bulldog, Fiona and Benny learn to see Mikey’s world differently, and readers are reminded that love and patience can bridge even the biggest differences. This beautifully illustrated story captures the emotional ups and downs many families experience when navigating life with a child who has special needs.
A Story Rooted in Real-Life Compassion

Both of her children are now successful adults dedicated to helping others through their professions, a testament to the values reflected in her books.
Tracey holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Services from Bryn Mawr College and a BA in Psychology and Social Work from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Having lived in nine states and three countries, she brings a global perspective to her advocacy for families and children.
