Hugo is a hamster. He’s also a great cook, a fast runner, a slow eater, and a fantastic dancer. But what Hugo wants most of all is to be a firefighter. Hugo worries that he’s too small to fight fires, but just because something is difficult doesn’t mean he won’t try his hardest to achieve his dream.

Andrew Root’s debut picture book is a sweet, funny story that will delight the littlest readers, who know that being small can sometimes be the biggest advantage of all.
