Today is Lilac Sunday, and Sophie really wants to go with her Mommy. But her mom experiences depression and anxiety and is reluctant to leave the house. Mommy's occupational therapist and some people from her support group will be there, so mommy agrees to go for a short time. They take their dog, Sammy, to help Mommy deal with her anxiety. By using the strategies that her occupational therapist suggests, Mommy and Sophie enjoy their day smelling the lilacs, watching the juggler, drinking lemonade and having a picnic on the grass
