The otters and the badgers live on either side of the river, but they have never seen eye to eye. Neither group can cross to the opposite riverbank. But one day shy otter-baker Francie accidentally ventures into the badger lands in search of a new ingredient. As the two sides begin arguing again, she has unwittingly set off a new chapter in their ongoing feud. But maybe Francie's stunning new cookies-otter-baked but with badger-territory ingredients-may finally help them learn to get along. A funny and heartfelt story of tolerance, compromise and finding common ground. Anya Glazer's detailed artwork will immerse readers in the rich world of otters and badgers, and reward multiple readings. Provides a fun-packed introduction to conflict resolution . . . and cookery!

Francie makes the world better, one bake at a time!
