Customer Reviews

Interestingly written and good dual author perspective

This was a cute story that only spanned 5 days of time. I think there are good lessons in this book for kids to learn. The duality of the two protagonists being from different countries and cultures requires the reader to discover empathy. The only down side, reading it in 2023, its riddled with gender stereotypes and discusses "females" in a way that was uncomfortable for us to read to our son.
