What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Snail and Stump return in this sweetly humorous story about finding the courage to share your feelings Snail’s not afraid of (certain) loud noises, exploring the glade, or lullaby karaoke. But he is afraid of asking for help, making mistakes, and believing in himself. And so, it’s only with support from his best friend Stump that he finds the courage to enter a local paper airplane contest. However, after the contest, it’s Stump who needs support when he becomes heated and upset after not winning a ribbon. Fortunately, Snail knows just what to do to help Stump work through his difficult feelings. Together, they find the courage to tell each other exactly how they feel–prickly thoughts and all!–and then they write their feelings down on paper airplanes and let them go. In their third laugh-out-loud adventure, Snail and Stump discover that the best kind of brave is finding the courage to share your feelings, even when your bravery is playing hide-and-seek.
