Janette Oke's Animal Friends Introduce...Fuzzle the Skunk



Out for a walk one day, Fuzzle is separated from his family. Alone for the first time in his life, he must find his own food and a place to sleep. If only he could get some help from the other animals in the forest....



When he tries to make friends, though, no one will speak to him, and he doesn't know why. All he wants is someone to play with. But what Fuzzle doesn't know is that God gave him a secret weapon--one that will make him a hero if he can discover it in time.

About the author (2001)

Janette Oke (pronounced "oak") was born in Champion, Alberta, Canada, during the depression years.

She and Edward married in 1957 and went on to serve churches in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada, and Indiana. Oke published her first book, Love Comes Softly, in 1979. The book experienced immediate success because works of fiction were a virtually unknown genre in the Christian publishing industry. Oke has gone on to publish some 36 romance novels, earning her the 1992 President's Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. She is the author of the "Love Comes Softly" and the "Prairie Legacy" series of books. Oke enjoys a large reading audience primarily comprised of teenagers, homemakers and working women. She recently started writing for young children.
