Peanut the Hamster

Molly Arbuthnott, MA 2010

Paul is a writer and peanut is a hamster. A strange combination, you might think, but they helpe each other, the perfect symbiotic partnership; Paul writes stories and Peanut provides inspiration. Life steams along as they travel together on a sleeper train until, one day, Peanut goes missing and with him go all of Paul's story ideas. An old peanut is all that remains to remind Paul of the life he once had.... but fate has other plans in store.

A story about faith, hope, and never giving up, you never know what is around the corner. Everyone knows hamsters so it is an immediately relatable topic. Peanut the Hamster is a story about hope and kindness, never giving up and always remaining open to new experiences because you never know where they might lead. It is a story about looking out for others, always giving the best of yourself to others and expecting nothing in return. It is a story filled with compassion and love. It is a story that, I hope, every child will love and learn from.
