Bella Boo, Boyfriends, Beaches and Bullies - Paperback

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 kid and every pup.

Bella Boo can't contain her wiggles when Dad says the magic word: walk! 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's 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 Bella Boo Teacup Yorkie series celebrates resilience, friendship, and the power of kindness to change a day-and maybe even a life.
