Pete and the Prickly Problem: A Sweet Story About Friendship and Being Yourself (Sunbeam Stories)

Pete the porcupine has a prickly problem.

He has a very kind heart, but he also has a back full of very sharp quills. All he wants is to make a friend, but the other animals in Sunny Meadow Forest are too scared to play with him.

Pete feels lonely and sad. He even tries to cover his quills with soft moss and bright yellow buttercups to look less scary, but his plan backfires. He's starting to worry he'll be spiky and lonely forever.

But everything changes when he meets Squeaky the squirrel. Squeaky is quick, cheerful, and not one bit afraid of Pete's quills. He shows Pete that being different isn't bad, and that there are plenty of ways to have fun-no tagging required!
