Button At The Bookstore

A small pup looking for a place to belong and a boy just learning how to read find connection in this heartwarming and unforgettable picture book by the internationally bestselling author of Tom Lake and Bel Canto and the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Fancy Nancy.

When Button is adopted from the pound, he discovers that life with Sasha-and the busy bookstore where she works-is full of surprises. Button isn't quite sure where he fits. But everything changes when he wanders into the children's section and meets a boy struggling to read. With patience, kindness, and a gently wagging tail, Button becomes the perfect listener for a brand-new reader.

Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Ann Patchett, who is herself the owner of an independent bookstore (Parnassus Books in Nashville) and a lifelong dog lover, this heartfelt story is infused with the warmth and empathy that define her work. Robin Preiss Glasser, #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, brings Button's world to life with expressive, emotionally rich artwork. Together, they've created a tender celebration of stories and community, reminding readers that books-and dogs-have a special way of bringing people together.
