Author Description

This book is about a pair of unlikely animal friends. Analytical and set-in-his-ways Badger is taken aback when jolly and easy-going Skunk rings the doorbell to announce he's Badger's new roommate. (Badger may have been ignoring his landlord Aunt Lula's letters) But as Badger begrudgingly opens up his home--and heart--to Skunk and his unconventional ways, the two characters are irrevocably changed by one another, establishing an odd-couple friendship that is timeless and real. A friendship part Wind in the Willows, part Wallace and Grommit, born in a brownstone in a town that evokes a slightly more urban Hundred Acre Wood via a delightful population of chickens, sheep, stoats, hedgehogs, voles, and philosophical musings, establishes the perfect scenario for illustrations by illustrator Jon Klassen.
