Introducing… The Fickle Pickle!
From the jar to your heart - Pickles, playtime, and the practice of friendship.
About the Book
Meet Fickle Pickle.
A lovable little gherkin with big feelings and an even bigger need to be in control. When playtime doesn’t go as planned, Pickle is left frustrated, excluded, and unsure how to make things right. With gentle humor and heartfelt relatability, Fickle Pickle and the Friendship Flub invites young readers to navigate the tricky terrain of social play, while modeling empathy, flexibility, and the courage to try again. A charming, rhyming read-aloud for every child who’s ever had a big feeling in a small moment.
