Spud on the Ranch

By Tiege Dooley-Panko

Spud on the Ranch is a heartfelt, Western-themed picture book about home, family, and finding your way back to where you belong.

This follow-up to The Fry Who Fell in the Aioli continues the story of Spud Russet, the brave little fry whose first adventure earned critical praise from Kirkus Reviews and was featured as a Kirkus Indie Selection.

After dipping into the exciting world of aioli and becoming something of a legend, Spud starts to feel that something is missing. So he sets off on a journey back to the ranch, the place of his youth, where his family and his heart have always been waiting.

Spud on the Ranch reminds young readers that no matter how far you wander or how big your adventures become, you can always come home and be yourself.

Perfect for ages 4-8, this story celebrates courage, belonging, and the love that makes home feel like home.
