Tick and his hairy friends show us what it means to work together and why we need to save the world.”  –Professor Ben Garrod, author of The Chimpanzee and Me

A heart warming story that celebrates the strength that can be found within community. The International Yeti Collective is a novel about tolerance and forgiveness, that celebrates our differences as well as what brings us together.–Lizz, bookseller
