We here all identify strongly with the young hero of this story, a girl just trying to read a book, or eat a cookie, or do somersaults by herself when a friend shows up. Sometimes it's nice to be alone, but with friends like hers, who each give her the space to continue to be herself while enjoying their companionship, it also can be nice to have someone nearby who understands you. (Ages 1 to 5)
