Books about friendship

One of those joyous rarities: a book about girls who are neither infallible nor pratfall-prone … If only all early chapter books were this beautifully conceived.

New York Times Notable Book

This tale is a winner.

Books of the Year, The Independent

The clarity and simplicity of the writing are balanced by the verve and finesse of Eriksson’s captivating illustrations … A quietly compelling book for young readers.
