    A small pup looking for a place to belong and a boy just learning how to read find connection in this heartwarming and unforgettable picture book by internationally bestselling author of Tom Lake and Bel Canto and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Fancy Nancy.

    When Button is adopted from the pound, he discovers that life with Sasha—and the busy bookstore where she works—is full of surprises. Button isn’t quite sure where he fits. But everything changes when he wanders into the children’s section and meets a boy struggling to read. With patience, kindness, and a gently wagging tail, Button becomes the perfect listener for a brand-new reader.

    Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Ann Patchett, who is herself the owner of an independent bookstore (Parnassus Books in Nashville) and a lifelong dog lover, this heartfelt story is infused with the warmth and empathy that define her work. Robin Preiss Glasser, #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, brings Button’s world to life with expressive, emotionally rich artwork. Together, they’ve created a tender celebration of stories and community, reminding readers that books—and dogs—have a special way of bringing people together.
    Ann Patchett is an American author and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award as well as the Orange Prize for Fiction, both for her novel Bel Canto. Her other books include The Patron Saint of Liars, Taft, The Magician’s Assistant, Run, State of Wonder, and Commonwealth. View titles by Ann Patchett
