Bookroo's summary

Fluffy the porcupine is anything but fluffy, and his name feels like a cruel joke. Desperate to match his name, he tries everything from posing as a cloud to becoming a pillow, much to his mother's dismay. But when he meets Hippo, a rhinoceros with a similarly mismatched name, Fluffy learns the power of laughter and friendship. Together, they discover that embracing who they are is the key to happiness. Will Fluffy finally accept his name and himself? This charming tale of self-acceptance and friendship will leave readers smiling.

From the publisher
