Finding new friends, especially unexpected ones, takes an unique and entertaining twist.
Inky is a bit lonely but as he runs into other lonely characters, he slowly learns that friends can come in all forms...even the type he doesn't expect.
This book is all about opening up to those, who nobody else might pay attention to. Inky is lonely, but it's not hard for him to find friends once he reaches out. His first friend is a bit dirty. His second a bit big. Nobody wants to be friends with them either, and yet, this is where Inky finds the best friends ever. It's a great message, which is brought across in a clear way without ever feeling preachy.
The text is simple enough to use as a read-aloud even to younger listeners. A couple of times, there's a page with just a little more text, which is written in with energy and shows how fun friendship can be. The illustrations are bright and don't vary too much. They do bring across the characters nicely and accompany the text well.
It's a sweet read especially the younger end of the age group will enjoy.
I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed the characters quite a bit. So, I'm leaving my honest thoughts.

2018. Fantasy Picture book. Inky has a hard time making friends until he finds Muddy, another outcast. They decide to be friends and even take in Dusty, showing that all kinds of people deserve love. Just because someone is different, does not mean that they don't have feelings. Good moral lesson for k-2nd grade.
