Volume 1: Rico the Rhino and Rumi the Raccoon

Deep in a vibrant jungle, two very different animals are about to discover something extraordinary. Rico the Rhino is strong, gentle, and a little lonely. Rumi the Raccoon is quick, clever, and always curious. When their paths cross, challenges arise, and so do laughs, teamwork, and understanding. Rico and Rumi realize what makes them different makes them stronger together. That is the heart of Volume 1, and the skill it carries: Differences and Friendship. This is the book that opens the series. Grown-ups buy it. Children listen. It is built for bedtime and for classroom story time, with a lesson children can feel without being lectured. Christopher Miller and Ronda Roscoe tell it for Golden Hearth Tales LLC, under the promise that holds the whole jungle: every friend brings a new way to see and enjoy the world.

After you read: Talk about one thing Rico can do that Rumi cannot, and one thing Rumi can do that Rico cannot. Then name something they can only do together.

G01 will live on Rico & Rumi Play when it is ready. Not playable now. Until G01 opens, start with the story.

Next friend: Ellie the Elephant, Volume 2, Memory and Wisdom
