Synopsis

 Obi was a carefree, little rhino, until one day a fierce itch interrupted his happy vibe. As much as he tried, nothing helped. It would take his big heart, along with something much smaller than a rhino for Obi to feel like himself again.

A sequel to Obi's Mud Bath which was inspired by an actual event, Obi's Itch includes Common Core Connections and explores themes of perseverance, friendship, and the power of believing.** A portion of this book's proceeds will be donated to Water.org, an organization which empowers families around the world with access to safe water and sanitation.
