This is a wonderful chapter book about friendship and social anxiety. Readers will be able to relate to Snoozie’s and Sunny’s enjoyment of fun games and learn that just a little bit of bravery can go a long way toward bringing new friends into your life. This is a tender story about feeling sad and finding uplift in the presence of accepting friends. 

What do you do when you’re feeling so-so? Do you curl up in a ball or talk with a friend? Snoozie is a cat who doesn’t like moving. Sunny is a dog who’s afraid of the rain. They’re very different, but they are the best of friends. One day, while playing on a balcony, they discover a small, timid dog buried in a basket who has been feeling “so-so” for quite some time. How will this chance encounter change all their lives?
