About this title

Synopsis

We feel that this book would appeal to children as they interact with other cultures. Also it touches on feelings and how parents react to their children's playmates. The story is based on the actual experience of the illustrator, Sue Alsup, when she was a child of 8 years living in Michigan in the 1930's.
