Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
In this second book from the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Food Group series, Pete Oswald, and acclaimed author Phuc Tran’s bestselling Cranky series, Cranky is feeling extra cranky when a new crane joins the crew.
There’s a new crane on the construction site! His name is Lefty and he's the opposite of Cranky—smiley, talkative, and a jokester. Everything Lefty does makes Cranky feel extra cranky. But everyone else seems to love him. What if Cranky's friends like Lefty more than him?
Find out how self-acceptance and a supportive crew help one cranky truck make a new friend in this humorous story about big trucks, big feelings, and even bigger friendships. With Phuc Tran’s hilarious text, this read is perfect for fans of Grumpy Monkey and construction vehicles.

Phuc Tran is an award-winning writer, tattooer, and Latin teacher (for which he has won no awards).

Cranky was his first children’s book. His memoir, Sigh, Gone, received the New England Book Award and the Maine Literary Award and was named a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Audible, and others. Phuc lives in Portland, Maine, with his wife (who is rarely cranky) and his two daughters (who are sometimes cranky). “Phuc” is pronounced like “Luke” but with an F. Learn more at phucskywalker.com.
