Thomas and Hugabe

By Bruce Fenn

Thomas and Hugabe is a beautifully heartfelt tale about growing up, finding courage, and learning that every generation must build its own bridge to the future. Young Thomas longs to stay in the comfort of childhood with his loyal dog, Hugabe, by his side. But time-gentle, patient, and unrelenting-calls him to cross the river into the world of growing up.

With Hugabe's wisdom and encouragement, Thomas discovers that the path to adulthood is never the same for everyone. Sometimes bridges collapse, currents push you back, and fear keeps you standing still. Yet every stumble becomes a lesson, every setback a chance to try again. Through perseverance, creativity, and compassion, Thomas not only finds his own way across the river-he learns to help others find theirs.

Filled with warmth, life lessons, and the timeless bond between a child and his dog, Thomas and Hugabe is a tender story that will resonate with readers of all ages. It's a reminder that while we cannot stop time, we can choose how we grow with it-and whom we bring along.
