This wonderful story describes two preschool best friends, Mary and Clare who always hug, hold hands and sit together. One day, their friendship is nearly broken mainly because of Clare's jealousy of Mary having special treatment and attention on her birthday. The story ends with two little girls becoming best friends again through mutual understanding. The artwork is excellent with the two characters beautifully displayed in a warm sunny garden backdrop. Chodos-Irvine employs printmaking techniques to create this great tale. Young readers should enjoy reading this warm story of true and lasting friendship, which gives us an insight into children's emotions.
