About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate a lopsided friendship or feeling frustrated by a peer who processes the world differently. This Geisel Honor winner features Fox and Chick, a duo whose personalities are polar opposites. Fox is the steady, patient anchor, while Chick is impulsive, dramatic, and constantly buzzing with energy. Through three short, humor-filled chapters, the book explores how to maintain a bond even when you do not see eye to eye. It is an ideal pick for kindergarten through second grade, offering a gentle masterclass in social stamina and the quiet art of being a good friend. Parents will appreciate how it validates the need for patience without being overly preachy.
