In this all-new adventure, Mooki the beaver and his forest friends are so excited because they get to ride in the Hedge Hollow’s Summer Parade and wear their own specially made hats. However, when Mooki’s bragging friend, Payton the Peacock, boastfully declares that his hat will be the best and he’ll get to ride at the top of the float, no one, including Mooki, likes his cocky attitude. Once disaster strikes, Mooki helps Payton learn the true meaning of friendship. Children ages 4 to 8 will adore the bold, funny illustrations that will capture their imaginations, as they learn how pride can get in the way of friendship, but forgiveness can bring friends back together again. [Call out] “Tips for Parents” —Included in this book are a few words of advice just for parents to help explain the seriousness of bragging and pride from well-known Christian psychologist, Gary Smalley.
