This sweet and funny story is about feeling different and embracing who we are. A fun and original story by Barbara Davis-Pyles, author of Grizzly Boy and Stubby the Fearless Squid, about a troll named Cliff who isn't very good at sitting still or being a "proper" troll. He'd much rather be a pirate anyway! "Ahoy!" he shouts upon meeting other trolls, who then remind him that the proper troll hello is "Go away!" After a report card full of Fs in bridge building, stoney staring, and even goat gobbling (he's a vegetarian!), Cliff sets off for pirate school. But are things different for him there? Aye, that they arrrre! This humorous story is about appreciating who we are and knowing there is a place where we fit in the world.

One morning Theo decides he is no longer human. "I'm a GRIZZLY! I'm WILD AND FREE!" But being a grizzly boy isn't easy if you still have to go to school. A fun, endearing, and sweet picture book, Grizzly Boy will have "wild and free" little grizzlies everywhere asking for repeat readings. One day Theo wakes up and decides he's a grizzly bear. He leaps out of bed, practices his growl . . . and his roar. . . and scratches his bottom on the bedpost. "Oh my! That's very convincing," his mother responds. When Theo finds a bowl of lettuce and berries for breakfast instead of his favorite Frosted Monster Bites cereal, he is still determined to have a day that's wild and free, but he finds it's more difficult than he expected, especially when you have a clever mother and still have to go to school where there are rules and more rules! After a challenging day as a grizzly boy at school, Theo learns you can follow the rules and still enjoy being wild and free!
