BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER x LITTLE FLAG'S BIG JOURNEY Patch the Flag is afraid to wave. People might laugh at his patched up repair. But when the town plans to remove him, Patch will need to let go and fly his true colors, or face the firepit. #QuestPit #PB #WIP #FacingFears

THE MESS WE MADE x FROG & TOAD Guadalupe the wolf is fast. Zig Zag the raven is faster. But speed won’t help their rumbling bellies when fish won’t bite in a polluted river. Time for this unlikely duo to work together, or no one in the forest eats. #Questpit #PB #EarthDay
