Sometimes things aren’t so scary when you have a friend to keep you company.
An accidental encounter throws Mole and Wolf together. One is afraid of the light, the other is afraid of the dark. Together they learn that friends are all they need to conquer their fears.
Nancy Armo’s humorous story, with adorable illustrations, explores fear and friendship to show how opposites can complement, strengthen, and support each other.
Nancy Armo has been drawing since she started coloring on walls with her crayons. Later she used that talent to study graphic design at the University of Washington, which led to a career as a graphic designer and art director for several corporations. A Friend for Mole is her first book. She lives in New York.
