Patrick and Flippa are best friends-they love watching clouds together. Every day, Flippa dives for their dinner and makes sure that Patrick's tummy is full of fish . . . so why does he always have that empty bear feeling?
Is it because Flippa's always in charge? The water might be icy, but this story is full of warmth and laughter.
Merle Goll’s illustrations bring extra humour and appeal to lovable, though flawed, characters. An important message about friendships and setting boundaries delivered with a light touch and lots of laughs.
