The Blue Schnauzer

Nathan McVeigh

In a world filled with noise and confusion, one curious blue schnauzer sets out to make sense of it all - not through sight, but through his powerful senses of smell, sound, and heart. The Blue Schnauzer is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming children's book that celebrates neurodivergence, sensory intelligence, and the quiet strength found in being different.

Join Brutus, a blue schnauzer with long floppy ears and a wagging tail, on an unforgettable journey through the forest of feelings, friendship, and self-discovery. Guided by quirky animal companions and his own brilliant instincts, Brutus learns that the things that make him "different" are exactly what make him special.

Perfect for ages 4-8, but good for all ages and even adults, this heartfelt tale is more than just a bedtime story - it's a gentle guide for children, parents, and educators navigating sensory sensitivity, emotional resilience, and embracing one's unique gifts.

The Blue Schnauzer is a tribute to all children who see the world a little differently - and to the grown-ups who walk beside them, every sniff, step, and stumble of the way.
