Oh wow I didn’t know what to expect but this blew me away! What a beautiful story of friendship and belonging and just I love it so much! So wholesome and pure and I can’t wait for the students to read it!

This book made me smile and laugh and I could relate and I love the artwork and colours

I really liked this graphic novel. It was short, quaint, and I think it did a great job showing the small things that make friendships blossom. The only reason I'm not giving it five cows is I felt the ending could've been just a bit better. It wasn't bad, but it didn't quite hold up to the rest of the book. I'd definitely read something else by Jen Wang, though, because the story was absolutely adorable.

Four and a calf cows!
