One morning, Valentina spots something strange: a monster selling cotton candy on her street. But Valentina isn't scared. This monster is friendly and has pink, fluffy fur—perfect for hugs. Valentina and Monster quickly become friends, but tragedy soon arrives. This story of loss and grief shows how to hold onto the love from others long after they are gone.
