In this photographic picture book about a little boy who takes care of an adorable pug, author Meggan Hill weaves a sweet and sincere narrative that shows young children the true meaning of kindness. Children and parents will fall in love with the precious pair as they watch Nico learn to care for Lola by walking her, feeding her, and playing with her. These acts of kindness are beautifully highlighted on each page spread with real-life photographs by Susan M. Graunke.
This originally self-published book has already made quite a splash—quickly selling out and winning numerous awards, including a Gold Medal at the Mom’s Choice Awards and the Benjamin Franklin Gold Medal Award at BookExpo America this year. Now in a brand-new edition, readers everywhere will be able to enjoy the story of NICO & LOLA.
Based on the true friendship between a boy and a dog, NICO & LOLA is sure to tug on the heartstrings of everyone who reads it.
