Excerpt
Way,
way far away, deep in outer space, spun a clean, green planet named Friendesha
where all creatures lived together as friends.
This planet was home to the Friendeshans, the happiest beings in the
galaxy. They were bursting with
pozzi-power - that's the positive, loving energy inside every living
thing. The Friendeshans had so much
pozzi-power they had to give it away!
And so they built a pozzi-powered Friend Ship, the F.S. Friendesha. The crew of the F.S. Friendesha traveled all
around the galaxy, looking for sad and droopy planets that needed just a little
bit of extra pozzi-power. And when they found
one, they would go to work. They'd hide
in logs, bogs, and bushes, and whenever they saw a grim or grumpy creature,
they'd pop out and give it a "Friendesha" with their glowing, humming
wands. A Friendesha is a special spark
that lights up all the pozzi-power that's hiding inside someone. It can put a grin on the grumpiest grizzle-rat!
