For those of you interested in finding out more about the book, creator Paul Budnitz explains “this is a story about electric guitars, strawberry cake, loneliness, and togetherness. It’s about a boy who felt empty inside, and how he became a good friend and made himself whole again. The HOLE in the Middle has incredible art by Aya Kakeda, and is appropriate for children of all ages (and also for adults who are never quite satisfied with the way things are!).”
