About the Book

Once upon a time in a delicious place, Bumble Pea and Koala Pear were very best mates. They loved to eat pancakes, plate after plate, topped with syrup for a delicious taste! Everyday was the same from dusk until dawn, until one day, all the syrup was gone! What will they do! Where did the syrup go? Open this book, and then you shall know.

Book Synopsis

In this delicious 860-word picture book, written by Tori Deal and co-written and illustrated by Vira, two sweet friends set out on a journey to find out what has happened to their beloved syrup. They travel through a fantastical world of Fruit Forests, Muffin Mountains, and Milky Rivers. Along the way, they meet other original characters who teach them about friendship and inclusion. When they finally reach the Pancake Palace and meet the Pancake Princess, who is selfishly hiding the only syrup left in the land, they must convince her that sharing and making friends is much better than being alone with her riches.
