Small words, big feelings!

Each book includes two stories, and each stand-alone tale features a hilarious and relatable friendship story, featuring Ebb (stubborn lover of rocks) and Flo (expert in helping Ebb out of scrapes). Written and illustrated by wife-and-husband team Laura and Philip Bunting; picture book creators who want to bring fun and laughter to reading as a family.
