Bookroo's summary
Elmore, a lonely porcupine, longs for friendship but struggles with his spiky nature. Rejected and heartbroken, he wonders if anyone can see past his quills. As the forest animals learn to connect with him, Elmore discovers the true meaning of community and acceptance. Will his prickly exterior keep him isolated, or can love find a way through the spikes?
From the publisher
The creator of the Toot & Puddle series brings us Elmore—the warmhearted porcupine sure to steal the hearts of a new generation of Holly Hobbie fans!
Elmore is a porcupine desperate to make friends. But it is hard to seek closeness with others when you’re covered with spikes that shoot off your back every so often. Elmore suffers rejection and heartbreak, but the goodness of his forest community ultimately shines through as the animals find a way to connect with this prickly bundle of love.
Holly Hobbie is the creator of the beloved Toot & Puddle series and now brings us a character for the next generation. Just as charming, funny, and good-hearted as her little pigs, Elmore the porcupine will snuggle and prickle his way securely into the picture-book canon.
