A funny and adorable picture book about two friends going on an adventure and about meeting anxiety with resilience, an open mind and extra toilet paper.

Warm and Fuzzy are best friends.

Warm wants to go on an adventure, but Fuzzy isn't sure.
What if it's scary? What if it's really cold or super hot? What if there are no bathrooms, or worse: no toilet paper!

Warm says they have everything they need, but Fuzzy is worried.
Should they bring snacks? A sensible change of clothes? Toilet paper?

Warm knows where to go, but Fuzzy has questions.
Have they been there before? Will there be people there? Should they bring gifts? Or toilet paper??

This reassuring story explores themes of resilience, patience, bravery and anxiety in a gently humorous and familiar way. It will remind worriers of all ages that no matter how big or small the adventure, they have it in themselves to meet it. Even if it means bringing their own toilet paper.

"Rothman's latest picture book gives new meaning to the common phrase warm and fuzzy. . . . The soft, rounded art style creates a gentle atmosphere amplified by warm light and the earthy hues encountered on their journey. A fun and helpful read about overcoming anxieties that doesn't hit too close to home." —STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

"With themes of coping with anxiety, choosing to venture out even when it’s scary, and finding wonderment in every day events, Rothman's book is a near ideal read-aloud for children." School Library Journal

"Warmly lit digital artwork by Won, with characters rendered in soft textures of colored pencil hatching, visualizes how getting out of one’s comfort zone can be liberating and fun." —Publishers Weekly
