The Little Bus with the Big Heart: A Cookie-Stop Tale

A wave, a honk, a wag... one little bus and two big-hearted Labs turning ordinary mornings into “small good things, repeated.”

Every morning on Willow Lane, a little yellow bus exhales its doors... pshhht... and kindness hops on. Inside ride Mr. Sunny and Miss Dot, everyday heroes who greet dogs by name and kids by grin. Outside stand Commander Calypso (dignity division) and Captain Ajax (wiggle department), practicing the brave arts of sit tall, wait your turn, and share.

Seasons turn... leaves, snow, blossoms... and the route keeps humming. On rain days, cookies smell like pumpkin and cheer. On storm days, the bus still comes. A shy newcomer, Violet with the spotted ears, learns the rhythm; her goodbye wag grows from tiny to swoopy. The Labs carry a ribboned bag of pumpkin bones to the stepwell, and later the dash keeps a tiny tin with a note: “Remember: small good things, repeated.”

The Little Bus with the Big Heart is a picture book about neighbors who wave back and the everyday courage of opening a door... told with gentle humor, cozy cadence, and Labradors, of course. Perfect for ages 6–12, bedtime snuggles, circle time, and anytime you need a hopeful hello. If you see the bus, give a wave. If you’ve got a tail, wag it twice.
