In an apartment in Washington, DC, four stuffed animals-Lambkins the wise lamb, Pookins the funny and brave cockapoodle, Womby the determined wombat, and Kiwi the curious kiwi bird-call themselves the Stuffie Squad. They read, explore, and look after their people, Sam and Judy. On trips to the family farm they find comfort by the fire, befriend a gentle black bear, and-deep in the woods-meet a mysterious woodland elf who offers a riddle:
A shadow will take what you hold most dear,
But when it's darkest, a sign will appear.
The Squad doesn't know what it means yet, but they remember their promise: We're the Stuffie Squad, and we don't give up!
The mystery arrives at a busy mall. While Sam and Judy shop, the friends clap for jugglers and musicians-until they notice something is terribly wrong. Kiwi has vanished. Panic turns to purpose as the Squad searches every store and mall level, asks for help, and then makes posters to rally the neighborhood. The riddle's sign reveals itself, a mix-up is solved, and the friends bring Kiwi safely home.
Warm, gently suspenseful, and rich with read-aloud rhythm, this first Stuffie Squad adventure celebrates teamwork, perseverance, and the kind of family that shows up, searches, and brings you home. It invites discussion about problem-solving, asking for help, and being a good friend.
