“Chomp the Chimp almost lets out a shout
‘Oh what fun, a great mystery.
We can look by the river or by the big tree.’
‘Yes, oh yes!’ Rob the Frog begins to speak
‘this is just like playing hide-and-seek!’”

One mysterious sneeze. Four curious friends. A search for a place to call home.

About the Story

A quiet afternoon in the forest is interrupted by a sneeze no one can quite place. Curious to know where it came from, Chomp the Chimp begins to look. What begins as a simple mystery slowly opens into something more, as the forest reveals both a hidden friend and the search for a place that feels just right. The story unfolds gently, following how curiosity can bring friends together and how belonging sometimes arrives with both a home and a name.

Intended Audience
