One Book, Two Stories
Is a wonderful book series
From Quarto Kids
Showing little readers that there really are
Two sides to every story
This gorgeous book
Contains two stories
That stand alone
But can also be weaved together as one
Such a clever concept
And a wonderful way of introducing children
To alternative perspectives
To different sides of the same story
The latest in the series
Is the perfect read for Empathy Day and all days
Encouraging children to see stories from situations
From different points of view
A New Friend is a story about
New friends and new beginnings
We meet Joe
The new boy
He is worried about starting a new school
Everything is different in the new town
He feels alone and that no one has noticed him arrive
We meet Mai
Who is super excited to meet the new kid in town
She has written them a letter
And cannot wait to seek them out
And deliver it in person
We follow the two children through their school day
Mae on a mission to find the new kid and make friends
Joe feeling alone and missing his old friends
When the pair finally meet
They are both a little unsure
Mai is not sure whether her letter has been well received
Joe is not sure how to begin to play with Mai
The story ends with two new friends
Playing together and having fun
This is such a gorgeous story
With two adorable protagonists
One to encourage children to be brave
To reach out to others and make friends
This would be the perfect book to read over the summer
With children facing a new beginning in September
A brilliant and beautiful book
That would make a gorgeous gift
