The Peanut Donut Hero

In The Peanut Donut Hero, an ordinary peanut donut becomes an unlikely narrator and unexpected hero. Sitting in a glass case at Joe’s Donut Shop, this humble treat dreams of having a purpose. One sunny morning, Officer Cook and his energetic 8-year-old daughter Anneliese enter the shop. She picks the peanut donut as a special treat, and together they head to the grocery store where Officer Cook is working security—with the donut in tow. When a suspicious man attempts to steal a tablet and flee the store, Anneliese takes quick action. She throws the peanut donut like a frisbee, and with perfect aim, it hits the thief square in the face, stopping him in his tracks. Thanks to the brave toss, Officer Cook and his K-9 partner, Shadow, are able to catch the criminal. The store erupts in cheers, and the peanut donut earns a medal and a permanent place of honor in the family’s kitchen. Though a little squished, the donut proudly reminds readers that heroes come in all shapes, sizes—and even sprinkles. This heartwarming and humorous story celebrates courage, quick thinking, and the bond between a father, daughter, and one unforgettable flying donut.
