Lawrence & Sophia

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

By the author of Click, Clack, Moo and the illustrator of The Lost House, here is an utterly endearing story about venturing out of your comfort zone and overcoming anxiety to help a friend.

Lawrence & Sophia tells the tale of Lawrence who stays close to home because "out there" is too big and loud, and Sophia who stays high up in the tree branches because "down there" is too dark and dangerous.

When they meet and become friends, they find ways to enjoy each other's company without leaving their own safe spots... until a storm comes, and both are so worried about the other that they are finally able to take a huge, scary leap into the unknown. Together they feel brave, and the future is suddenly a lot more interesting.
