Overview

""Grumpy: My Puerto Rican Dog"" is a heartwarming story about healing, confidence, and the powerful bond between kids and animals. Children will see how acts of compassion can lift others while also strengthening their own self-esteem. Through Mateo and Grumpy's journey, young readers learn that courage doesn't mean never being scared-it means trying anyway, especially when someone believes in you. Grumpy spent his days wandering the streets of Puerto Rico-nervous, hungry, and unsure if anyone would ever care about a little sato like him. Mateo, a quiet boy who struggled with class presentations, knew exactly what it felt like to be scared. He often wished he could find courage, but speaking in front of others made his heart race and his voice fade. Everything changes the day Mateo meets Grumpy. What begins as a simple moment of kindness becomes the start of a friendship that helps them both grow braver. As Mateo gently cares for the worried pup, Grumpy learns to trust again... and Mateo learns that courage sometimes starts with helping someone who needs you. Together, they discover that friendship can make even the toughest moments feel less frightening.
