This is an adorable story about a sweet young girl who loves her bff, Nonnie.
Not just isn’t just any friend, but a lovely giraffe. What I loved about the story is how the main character grows and has room for all kinds of friends in her heart. The illustrations were beautiful throughout the story.
Excellent story, especially if you are looking for one on friendship.
