Meet Fritz. He likes rose hip ice cream on warm days and cream of chestnut soup on cold ones. Sometimes, Fritz likes to play with lots of friends. Sometimes, he likes playing with his extroverted best friend Pip (who likes blackberry bramble ice cream on hot days and spicy nettle stew on cold ones). But most often, Fritz likes to spend time all by himself. Time to be quiet. Time to do lots of things or nothing at all. One morning, Fritz decides to have a very Pip-like day, to see what it's like being Pip. The day starts with an exciting morning of berryball, followed by a swim in the puddle pond - and then blowing bubbles in the violet patch! But as the day goes on, Fritz starts getting more and more frazzled - it's exhausting work being so social when you're an introvert! How can Fritz get the quiet time he needs when there's so much going on? Find out in this sweet new picture book by talented author-illustrator Kelsey Garrity-Riley.
