Beschreibung des Verlags
A funny and adorable picture book about two friends going on an adventure and about meeting anxiety with resilience, an open mind and extra toilet paper.
Warm and Fuzzy are best friends.
Warm wants to go on an adventure, but Fuzzy isn't sure.
What if it's scary? What if it's really cold or super hot? What if there are no bathrooms, or worse: no toilet paper!
Warm says they have everything they need, but Fuzzy is worried.
Should they bring snacks? A sensible change of clothes? Toilet paper?
Warm knows where to go, but Fuzzy has questions.
Have they been there before? Will there be people there? Should they bring gifts? Or toilet paper??
This reassuring story explores themes of resilience, patience, bravery and anxiety in a gently humorous and familiar way. It will remind worriers of all ages that no matter how big or small the adventure, they have it in themselves to meet it. Even if it means bringing their own toilet paper.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This picture book's title phrase, which usually describes feelings of comfort and familiarity, here supplies the names of two characters—a pair whose respective demeanors represent calm and anxiety. Warm is a yeti-like creature confident in the duo's ability to embrace unfamiliar experiences—as Rothman (Parfait, Not Parfait!) writes, "We are smart./ We are strong./ We are imaginative./ And we are ready for anything." For Fuzzy, a diminutive, cub-like critter, being prepared means worrying about every detail that could go wrong—especially a potential dearth of toilet paper. But with Warm's unflagging reassurance (and willingness to pack a spare roll), a reluctant Fuzzy accompanies the gentle behemoth through a door, joining an array of animal guests at a fabulous party that includes prizes, presents, and an extensive tea party spread. Warm's refusal to clarify the duo's destination for Fuzzy may strike some as dismissive or high-handed, regardless of the adventure's payoff. But warmly lit digital artwork by Won (the Adurable series), with characters rendered in soft textures of colored pencil hatching, also visualizes how getting out of one's comfort zone can be liberating and fun. Ages 3–7.
