Pug & Doug

Reach for this book when your child experiences their first major misunderstanding with a friend or feels 'left out' based on a hunch. It is an ideal tool for children who struggle with making assumptions or who need a gentle nudge to see that a single mistake doesn't mean a friendship is over. The story follows Pug and Doug, two best friends who are very different but share a love for donuts. When a series of small assumptions lead Doug to believe Pug doesn't want to be his friend anymore, the fallout is both silly and poignant. It captures the heavy feelings of social rejection and the relief of a sincere apology, making it perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students learning to navigate social nuances.
