In Bonnyripple, nobody holds on to a grudge. They hand every ruffled feather, petty snit, squabble, and huff to Cornelius, the town's official Grudge Keeper.
Cornelius files them all away in his crowded, ramshackle cottage. A goat eats prizewinning petunias. A schoolmaster loses his toupee. A dance goes wrong. Each little complaint adds to the growing pile until the town's troubles become too big to ignore.
Playful, word-rich, and wonderfully silly, The Grudge Keeper turns hurt feelings into something children can picture and talk about. It is a funny picture book about anger, forgiveness, and the messy work of getting along, with a lively story that invites readers to think about what happens when small resentments are saved instead of solved.
