From the #1 New York Times bestselling Buffalo Fluffalo series comes the next humorous story, in which a disagreement spirals into a stormy, funny, and heartfelt lesson in sharing and the power of “I’m sorry.

When Buffalo Fluffalo and little Puffalo both spot the “roliest-poliest” tumbleweed on the prairie, their playful day takes a blustery, gustery turn.

“I’m the Buffalo Fluffalo—leave me alone because this is my stuffalo!” huffs Buffalo Fluffalo, while Puffalo’s teary cries shake the plains. Prairie Dog, Ram, and Crow try – and fail – to help.  As storm clouds gather, both brothers refuse to budge an inch, until suddenly, a crack of lightning zaps the tumbleweed to dust! Readers will rejoice as Buffalo Fluffalo learns that a heartfelt “I’m sorry” can bring sunshine back to even the stormiest day.

Bursting with Bess Kalb’s rollicking rhyme and Erin Kraan’s delightful illustrations, this heartwarming picture book shows that big feelings can sometimes get in the way but forgiveness and understanding always find a way to make things right.
