Description
Waffles and Julius, a winning new grumpy/sunshine duo, will steal your heart in this tender and funny picture book about friendship and respecting each other's differences--from Ed Vere, the bestselling creator of Max the Brave and How to Be a Lion.
Waffles really, really loves hugs.
Julius does not.
(Yes...it will.) This funny story is about respecting one another's differences--and the beautiful friendships that can blossom when we do.
