A possum finds friends. When opossums get scared, they freeze like a statue. Unfortunately, Alfred is an extraordinarily jumpy possum. This is quite impractical, especially when trying to make new friends. Armadillos are quite similar: at the slightest fright, they curl up. It takes quite a while for Alfred and Sofia, the armadillo, to get closer. But with a lot of patience on both sides, they eventually succeed. And lo and behold, there are a whole bunch of curious and jumpy animals that want to join the new group! A picture book for everyone who is brave enough to face their fears.
