Toot & Puddle: You Are My Sunshine
With a cheerful mix of humor, warmth, and a classic style all her own, legendary artist Holly Hobbie captures how good friends—and the coming of a new day—can help raise our spirits.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the flowers are in full bloom- so why is Toot so blue? In an effort to cheer up his best friend, Puddle bakes Toot's favorite berry cobbler, takes him on a river rafting adventure, invites all of their friends over for a fun-filled day of games and sing-alongs, but nothing seems to help. Just when he is about to give up, a sudden thunderstorm hits Woodcock Pocket, flooding all of Pocket Pond. The next day, Puddle waks up to find the air cleared…and his old friend back.
