Bella Boo, Boyfriends, Beaches and Bullies - Hardcover

by Barry Lewis (Author), Nathaniel Miller (Illustrator)

A teacup Yorkie with a giant heart discovers that courage, kindness, and speaking up can turn a scary day into a lesson for every child and every pup. Bella Boo can't contain her wiggles when Dad says the magic word: W A L K ! From the dog park hellos to a splashy stop at the beach, this spirited teacup Yorkie zips, sniffs, and soaks up every adventure--especially when a tall, dashing pup named Willie makes her little heart swoon. But when a loose dog rushes in with a bully'a bite and a bad attitude, Bella Boo's big day takes a frightening turn. With Dad by her side and her brave voice steady, Bella learns that standing up to unkindness doesn't mean fighting back--it means getting help, setting boundaries, and choosing compassion.

Told with bouncy, read-aloud rhyme and sunny seaside charm, Bella Boo, Boyfriends, Beaches and Bullies blends tail-wagging fun with a gentle, age-appropriate message about safety, empathy, and responsible pet care. Young readers will cheer as Bella shakes off the scare, models confidence, and reminds everyone that when bullying appears--on the playground, at school, or even at the dog beach--the safest, smartest move is to tell a trusted grown-up. Perfect for storytime snuggles and classroom conversations, this heartfelt second adventure in the Teacup Yorkie Adventure series celebrates resilience, friendship, and the power of kindness to change a day--maybe even a life.
