    About this ebook

    In this long-awaited follow up from Pickles My Wonderful World, we learn about the changes in Pickles's life. The changes in his world and the fears we all face growing up.

    In this book, Pickles shares the experiences of working with animals, how his friendship with Sydney grows, his first encounter with death, how it feels to be brave even when you are really scared, how it feels to not understand the people around you, and what it is like when you listen to others instead of following your heart.
