Today the four friends are going somewhere new. Mochi is going too.
But at the gate, Mochi's arm nubs will not let go. Not for a wave, not for a quick one, not for counting to three.
A tender first-day story about the goodbye that turns out to be the middle of hello.
Every book in this series follows the same gentle shape, so a child who has read one knows how the next one goes. Mochi wants to do something. Mochi tries alone, and it does not work. Four friends - Pip, Soot, Skelly and Flit - each offer a way, and none of them quite fit. Then the real moment arrives, and Mochi does it their own small way.
