Buffalo Fluffalo

Author: Bess Kalb  •  Illustrator: Erin Kraan

Format: Paperback

Recommended for ages 3+

A hilarious and endearing picture book that encourages self-acceptance from Emmy-nominated author Bess Kalb and illustrator Erin Kraan.

"I'm the Buffalo Fluffalo
I heave and I huffalo
Leave me alone because
I've had enuffalo!"

Buffalo Fluffalo arrives on the scene puffed up with pomp and self-importance.
He likes being a lone buffalo!

But when a huge sudden rain shower pours down from the clouds, revealing a drenched and soggy pipsqueak, will the other animals see through all of the bluff, fluff and bravado?

This humorous and delightful rhyming picture book touches on dealing with insecurity, self-acceptance and how to show compassion.
