A Bedtime Story Series

Life looks different from six inches above the ground.

Pepper the Dog narrates her own bedtime adventures — a small, scruffy-coated terrier with a nose for trouble and a heart of gold, finding the wonder in ordinary days.

About

Pepper is a small fluffy terrier-mix who tells her own stories — every adventure narrated from a dog's-eye view, six inches above the ground, where the world looks bigger, stranger, and a little more wonderful.

Each book is a gentle bedtime read about curiosity, friendship, and finding courage in small moments — written for toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers who love dogs and bedtime stories.
