Made me smile

I really enjoyed this story. It was about how two boys met around toddler stage and became the best of friends. One boy noticed that although he was younger than his friend by a year, he was so much bigger and taller than him. Despite the physical differences and inabilities they formed, a true bond of friendship developed based on care and respect. I loved the illustrations and practically felt as if I was there when they first met. I am so glad I came across this book at the library.

My child loved it

The book was excellent and very thought provoking for my 4 year old i would recommend it highly as a way to teach your child to be forgiving and understanding of others who are less fortunate
