Excerpt

Way, way far away, deep in outer space, spun a clean, green planet named Friendesha where all creatures lived together as friends.  This planet was home to the Friendeshans, the happiest beings in the galaxy.  They were bursting with pozzi-power - that's the positive, loving energy inside every living thing.  The Friendeshans had so much pozzi-power they had to give it away!  And so they built a pozzi-powered Friend Ship, the F.S. Friendesha.  The crew of the F.S. Friendesha traveled all around the galaxy, looking for sad and droopy planets that needed just a little bit of extra pozzi-power.  And when they found one, they would go to work.  They'd hide in logs, bogs, and bushes, and whenever they saw a grim or grumpy creature, they'd pop out and give it a "Friendesha" with their glowing, humming wands.  A Friendesha is a special spark that lights up all the pozzi-power that's hiding inside someone.  It can put a grin on the grumpiest grizzle-rat!
