A rodent friendship has not only gone viral, but inspired an adorable new children’s book as well!
Reddit user Pianoangel420 posted a photo of a racoons and squirrel who had found an unexpected best friend in each other and posted it online. Soon after, another user, Crappy_Doodler, decided to create a children’s book about the adventures of these to unlikely pals.
“This is way too cute,” said Crappy_Doodler. “I immediately imagined them going on adventures in a children’s book. Had to draw it.”
The result was an adorably impressive cover of an imaginary book called “The Adventures of Simon and Oliver” and led to other Redditors joining in to write the story to accompany the book. Thanks to the amazing interest, Crappy_Doodler decided to try to make this book a reality and began collaborating with fellow creative Redditor, StoryTellerBob!
The two have started a Kickstarter campaign and are just waiting for it to be approved. Once it is, they will be on their way to immortalizing this adorable friendship in the form of what will undoubtedly become a beloved children’s book.
