My porch buddy

A true story from Okey's own porch! Every evening in Oklahoma, Okey sets out a bowl of supper and a bowl of cool, fresh water — just in case. And every night, his little porch buddy comes: a sweet, fluffy opossum with a pink nose and the happiest smile. Follow her nighttime visits through rain, snow, and one springtime surprise, and see how a small kindness grows into a wonderful friendship. With a warm, hand-painted-style illustration on every page, The Porch Buddy is a gentle bedtime read for ages 3–8 about kindness to wild creatures — and a reminder that every friend, big or small, furry or not, deserves a warm meal, a cool drink, and a kind heart.
