Isaac and Nugget
A Story About Courage, Hope, and Being Heard
Written by Stacey Lynn Hollow
Isaac had always dreamed of having a pug of his own—he just didn’t know how perfectly his pug would arrive.
When an ordinary school day turns into the best surprise ever, Isaac meets Nugget, a wrinkly little pug with a snorty nose and a whole lot of heart. From their very first moment together, the two become inseparable—sharing snacks, adventures, and even dinosaur-sized scares.
But when Isaac accidentally frightens his new best friend, he learns that being brave sometimes means being gentle—and that love, trust, and friendship are the best gifts of all.
Tender, funny, and full of charm, Isaac and Nugget is a heartfelt picture book about the bond between a boy and his dog, perfect for early readers and pug lovers of all ages.
