Sometimes big problems don't arrive with loud noises or flashing warning signs.Sometimes they arrive quietly... with sneezes, sniffles, and a few mysterious bumps.In Calvin and Pudge: The Town That Got the Bumps, Calvin and his loyal beagle Pudge discover that something strange is spreading through their hometown of Maplewood. Kids start itching. Adults start worrying. Rumors start flying faster than facts. And before anyone realizes it, fear becomes almost as contagious as the sickness itself.But Calvin and Pudge don't face the problem with panic. They face it with curiosity, kindness, humor-and a lot of handwashing. As Maplewood learns to slow down, listen, and care for one another, Calvin discovers that helping doesn't always mean being loud or brave in obvious ways. Sometimes it means waiting. Sometimes it means waving from afar. And sometimes it means trusting the people who know how to help.Warm, funny, and gently educational, this story reminds readers that even when things feel uncertain, communities are strongest when they face challenges together.
