This story brings together two young children, both with different skin colors. Different things happen to one another... Will this friendship end due to unforeseen judgement?
The illustrations are blurry with deep blues and greens. The lines are curved and numerous.
I would use this book for a lesson on unity. Have them learn to love each other and be friends with everyone. We would get into groups with others that we wouldn't normally work with and build new ideas to create a steam project. I would use this in a 4th grade class after we had too many unruly disagreements.
