Meet The SockKids!

  

In the cozy bottom drawer of the Thompson family laundry room lives a lively bunch of socks known as The SockKids. Every day is an adventure, because these stocks never stay in one place for long!


The SockKids – Stretch, Stinky, Sudsy, Wooly, Buttons, Rinse, Sunny, and Flowers – travel through time in the spin cycle of the Thompson's washing machine.


These colorful characters inhabit the books of creator Michael John Sullivan.
