A wary bird, a guard dog, and an unexpected friendship

Oscar the bird tries to keep affection at a distance by hiring Brutus, a scruffy dog, to guard him from a group of friendly squirrels. But as Oscar rewards Brutus with scratches and treats, the dog’s role begins to include fetching sticks and keeping him company. Their changing relationship gives this picture book a child-friendly way to explore how friendship and care can grow through everyday gestures. The forest setting and animal characters place the story in the familiar territory of animal friendship tales, while its central tension turns on Oscar’s resistance to receiving affection.

Book overview

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.

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.
