The Runaway Muffin

Belle isn't like the other muffins in Milo's Bakery. While the doughnuts are content to wait for the next customer, Belle dreams of a world beyond the display case -- one filled with flowers, oceans, and endless blue sky.

So one morning, she takes a leap. Literally.

Bouncing out the bakery door and into the busy town, Belle discovers everything she imagined and more: fountains to splash in, butterflies to chase, and grass so soft it tickles her toes. Freedom tastes as sweet as she always hoped it would.

But adventure has its risks, and when a hungry hound dog catches the scent of warm blueberries on the breeze, Belle's big dream turns into a very big scare.

Racing home to the one place that's always felt safe, Belle learns something every dreamer eventually discovers: the world will still be there when you're ready for it, but the people (and pastries) who love you are worth slowing down for right now.

Sweet, funny, and full of heart, The Runaway Muffin is a rhyming picture book about curiosity, courage, and coming home -- perfect for little ones learning to balance big dreams with the comfort of family.
