Description
Every friendship faces challenges. Orris and Timble are back in a poignant and evocatively illustrated tale of trust from a two-time Newbery Medalist.

Is their friendship over? Or could it be that Timble has a tale of his own to share? Illustrated with wistful tenderness, this second title in a projected trilogy featuring this charmingly offbeat pair masterfully explores the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell each other, and the binding magic of friendship.
