Illegal Beagle

Sandra Ourique Gonsalves

A picture book so full of adventure, laughs, and rhyming fun…it should be, well, illegal! Meet Buttercup: he’s a well-behaved beagle and really quite regal! But some days, when his owner Jill is away, this precocious pup begins to play…He growls! He barks! He eats all the shoes! He teases the cat and turns cushions to chews! But mischief gets noticed, and that is fact…so what happens when this troublemaker is caught in the act? Through endearing humor and lighthearted illustrations, Sandra Ourique Gonsalves brings one canine’s clandestine adventures to life in Illegal Beagle: a touching tale that reminds us about the importance of building (and sometimes rebuilding) trust with those we love most. Perfect for readers big and small, this book will delight and bring smiles to all. It also makes an ideal gift for new parents, early readers, teachers, and anyone who loves to laugh.

Sam and Soraya

Built by Sam & Soraya

In 2022 we welcomed our little twins into the world. Since then we have been building up our home library full of baby books to try and give our boys the best start.

While books with characters called Sam are found in bookstores and charity shops throughout the land, we struggled to find any books with Soraya, Jasper, or Xander.

This gave Soraya the idea to compile a list of books for new parents and then Sam decided to turn it in to a website.
