Love Finds a Way by Kousky, Vern

An instant New York Times bestseller!

For fans of Love Is My Favorite Thing and I Need a Hug comes a sweet story about the healing power of love. Perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond!

Sometimes your best friend is only a tail wag away!

Oscar the bird is worried that one day love will find him. After all, there's a scurry of friendly squirrels in the forest who just can't help showering him with affection. Determined to keep it -- and them -- away, he gets a scruffy guard dog and names him Brutus.

Brutus quickly learns to growl and bark and chase. And he becomes a very good guard dog. So Oscar gives him a friendly scratch. Then a tasty treat. And soon, growling and barking and chasing aren't Brutus's only jobs. There's also fetching sticks . . . and keeping Oscar company . . .

And maybe even teaching Oscar a thing or two about love.

From the creator of the beloved Harold the Bear series, Love Finds a Way is a joyous and heartwarming celebration of friendship and the power of love.
