A Puppy's Tale
What do you do when you find the most perfect, floppy-eared, white-pawed puppy in the whole wide world? For Susie, the answer is simple… and secret! She just has to have her. But how do you hide a wiggly, whimpering, tail-wagging secret? The plan seems perfect until a curious uncle starts asking questions.
Every page of this adventure is brought to life with vibrant, expressive illustrations that will instantly captivate young readers and draw them right into Susie’s world.
Join Susie on her heartfelt adventure as she navigates a messy mix of love, guilt, and giggles. From a cozy hideout in a dusty basement to the very long walk of truth back to her neighbor’s house, Susie’s journey is one that will feel familiar to every child who has ever wanted something just a little too much.
At its heart, this story delivers a powerful and timeless core message: that telling the truth is not always the easy path, but it is always the right one. It shows that mistakes are okay, and what truly matters is having the courage to make things right.
