About the book...

Meet Sad Nuggie, a melancholic chicken nugget who is just trying to live his life. Why is he sad? Life is tough, especially as a small nuggie. But that doesn’t keep him from trying his best and making others smile!

In Sad Nuggie's latest (upcoming!) release, he's taking on the bigger changes in life. Moving, doing your best, new jobs, and even the possibly of entering the spicier side of life... the dating pool. 🔥  Don't worry, fair readers, nothing torrid happens... just life being, well, LIFE... and I think we can ALL relate to that. 

Sad Nuggie does for readers what so many friends do for each other... it just happens in those moments when a friend may not be near, or with the introverted that prefer the consistency of their own company (*raises hand*). From trying to reach out and take those steps to make connections to trying to simply to regain peace of mind 🧠 , this Nuggie is there for you. Want to go out to a concert? Sad Nuggie will try, but can't promise anything. Want to stay home and try out being a burrito 🌯,  he is SO down with that idea. Trying to curb commitment issues? Sad Nuggie has the 101 on solving that dilemma... with a bit of binge watching your favorite shows. 😍 The highs and lows of life can get you down, but Sad Nuggie will always be around to share a moment, lift a spirit, or simply say "I so feel that" in empathetic support.

A new flavor to add to the growing collection, and a NUGGIE-TASTIC read that's a great fit for all! Now, excuse me... I've got to go figure out which Nuggie plushie fits MY personality best... 😉
