The Nutcracker Ballet has finally arrived and Sarah is so happy. As she watches the hauntingly beautiful ballet, her dream of becoming a ballerina grows strong. She enrolls in Miss Hanson's Dance Studio and works hard to meet Miss H's expectations. Dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy and Princess Aurora in the spring and winter recitals brings her closer to her dream of becoming a prima ballerina. Then the unexpected happens, and all her dreams are shattered. But with the love and inspiration from Isabella, her little pug, she is able to put her life back on track.

Poignant and poetic recollections of a mother after the death of her son. These vivid and fondest memories evoke a living presence and offer hope and consolation and inspiration to all who have lost loved ones. Anne Dupré writes, "These treasured memories tear down the cruel wall of mortality, and like the bright stars that illuminate a dark sky, their glow lights up my world." Our finest hope is finest memory. - George Eliot

Long ago and far away, the great, great grandparents of pugs today lived in Buddhist temples high in the mountains of Tibet. On moonlit summer nights, the little pugs pressed their flat noses to white moon orchids, glowing like moths flying through a moonbeam. At dawn they lay by blue-green ponds where fat little toads leaped and splashed. The loving companions to the monks lived in harmony with everyone and everything around them.In the Buddhist tradition, The Little Pug’s Dreams illustrates the timeless value of mindfulness, compassion, and the awareness of the interconnectedness of all beings.The Little Pug’s Dreams offers a delightful and enriching story for young readers and an inspirational narrative for all ages. Certainly the universal message of compassion and mindfulness to the beauty that surrounds us is more important today than ever.
