Synopsis

A charming sock duo does their best to stick together in this rhyming picture book with bright, bold illustrations.

The love story of two socks goes awry in this sweet picture book with cheerful illustrations. Suki and Sosh are a happy sock couple. They have a warm home, a pair of feet and they are in love . . . life couldn't be better. But one day, Suki gets a hole! Before long she is whisked out of the drawer and taken far, far away from Sosh. The other socks warn him, "There's no point in being a sock on your own!" and Sosh knows it's the truth. No one likes an odd sock. What will become of him, and will he ever find his true love again?
