About the Book

Mochi and Zuki were just playing like they always do, until one big bounce turned into a small accident. Now Mochi’s favourite balloon is ruined and so is their day. Zuki is scared. What if Mochi never wants to play with him again? In this heartfelt story about two playful pups, young readers will discover that making mistakes is part of growing up and that saying “sorry” can help heal more than just a broken toy.
