HUGO DEANI RUNS LATE

Hugo Deani was really, really, really late!

His grandmother told him to pick up an ice cream cake and flowers-and don't be late!

But Hugo Deani had stopped to play, and the afternoon turned into a disaster!

The cake was melting, and he had a handful of stems instead of flowers.

Play had seemed more important than a cake and flowers.

Join Hugo Deani as he learns the harsh lesson that some things are more important than play.

"Hugo Deani Runs Late is whimsical & fast-paced. It kept me eagerly turning the pages, waiting to see what fun distraction Hugo would find next. And the end provided a heartwarming reunion. A sweet and touching read that I would recommend to parents, caregivers, and teachers to share with their children."-Joellen Schwallie, Author

"The best stories paint such vivid images in your mind that you feel yourself in the action and unable to stop thinking about it once the story ends. Hugo Deani Runs Late achieves that and so much more with a very impactful lesson that will touch all hearts, whether young or old."-Betty J. Fruin, Inspirational Writer
