For fans of Love Is My Favorite Thing and I Need a Hug comes a sweet story about the healing power of love. Perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond! Oscar the bird is worried that one day love will find him. After all, there’s a scurry of friendly squirrels in the forest who just can’t help showering him with affection. Determined to keep it – and them – away, he gets a scruffy guard dog and names him Brutus. Brutus quickly learns to growl and bark and chase. And he becomes a very good guard dog. So Oscar gives him a friendly scratch. Then a tasty treat. And soon, growling and barking and chasing aren’t Brutus’s only jobs. There’s also fetching sticks . . . and keeping Oscar company . . . And maybe even teaching Oscar a thing or two about love. From the creator of the beloved Harold the Bear series, Love Finds a Way is a joyous and heartwarming celebration of friendship and the power of love.
