"A story with lovely messaging. Tee's stunning illustrations bring the book to life. She has created two lovable characters that readers will want to see more of...children will get a lot out of this story, as it looks at the importance of being true to yourself and finding people who like you just the way you are." Magpie Magazine"Belonging, caring and embracing our differences are key themes of Melbourne graphic artist Allira Tee's debut children's book all about special friends...This is a sweet tale of friends who are different in some ways but compliment one another." Weekend Herald Sun"Friendship can be a confronting concept for toddlers and preschoolers to grapple with as their social and emotional landscapes become more complex, and this picture book might aid them in navigating this period. This sweet story is also suitable for sensitive children. The narrative gently demonstrates the importance of putting words to your feelings and affirms that a true friend will like you for who you are—even if you don’t have ‘real’ stripes."
