Reviews / Votes
"Beautifully offbeat, gorgeously illustrated and with an uplifting message about friendship, diversity, understanding and loyalty, this is a warm and wise book which will delight both youngsters and their parents." -- Lancashire Post "This story is so much deeper than its simple premise! Within, and underlying, the few lines of text are ideas on friendship, bullying, fear, differences, tolerance, racial issues and understanding...The true depth of this book is discovered not during the story, but in the conversations you hold with your child after it's finished." -- Kiwi familiesMore details
