"A friendly puddle maker is so accustomed to creating habitats for others that he overlooks his own longing for belonging"--

A beautiful new book by Beth Ferry and Tom Lichtenheld, the bestselling creators of Stick and Stone!

Here's a heart-expanding story about an on-the-go inventor who makes homes for others before realising the rewards of putting down his own roots. The Peddler of Puddles is a friendship-forward tale, perfect for fans of Bear Came Along and Strictly No Elephants.

The Peddler travels the countryside making perfect puddles for all his forest friends. Puddles that delight ducks, refresh frogs, and satisfy even the thirstiest hummingbird. But being constantly on the go can be lonely, and it's not until his friends step in that the Peddler discovers the joys of a home sweet home of his own.

Filled with whimsy and adorable detail, this tale is a tribute to finding a place to hang your hat.

About the Author

Beth Ferry has never met an invisible whale - at least she doesn't think she has. She lives near the beach in New Jersey where she has met many a crab and snail, some super smart seagulls and more barnacles than she can count. Beth and her family love nothing more than walking along the seashore, looking for interesting and wondrous things. In addition to writing books about the beach, Beth enjoys writing about friendship, nice dreams and scarecrows. You can learn more at bethferry.com. Tom Lichtenheld makes books for children and people who used to be children. He's been fortunate to work with many talented writers, editors, and publishers who've helped him enjoy the best job in the whole wide world.
