For the Grown-Ups
These stories are written for children — but they are created with grown-ups in mind.
The Bubbles & Nugget series gently explores belonging, change, embarrassment, shame, and courage in ways that feel safe, validating, and hopeful. Each book creates space for meaningful conversations without overwhelming young readers or rushing them toward quick solutions.
Whether shared at bedtime, in a classroom, or in a quiet moment after a hard day, these stories help children feel seen — and remind them that even hard feelings are not meant to be faced alone.
Meet the Real Bubbles & Nugget
Bubbles and Nugget are more than characters — they are best friends in real life.
Bubbles is a blind beagle who experiences the world through sound, scent, and the steady presence of those he loves. Nugget is his constant companion — never focused on what makes him different, only on walking beside him. In real life, she serves as his seeing-eye partner and unwavering friend.
Their bond inspired the heart of this series: belonging isn’t about being the same — it’s about staying.
The stories were inspired in part by the mission of the nonprofit Bubbles the Blind Beagle, which promotes anti-bullying initiatives for school-aged children and advocates for animals with disabilities. Their work centers on compassion, inclusion, and the belief that differences are not deficits.
$5 from every copy of Love Like Nugget sold is donated directly to support this mission.
Through their quiet friendship, Bubbles and Nugget remind us that courage doesn’t always look loud — and love often shows up in the simplest ways.
