A Friend of Mine ​Illustrated and Written by May M.
I would like to dedicate this book to Riley Sapp, who never stopped encouraging me from writing this story; my teacher Mrs. Brock, who was the first person to initially have planted this idea in my head; and to my wonderful parents, who never tried to limit my creativity.
