Al abrir el libro vemos a dos niñas, aparentemente enojadas, una de un lado de la página, la otra al otro extremo, el lomo simboliza una barrera emocional.Y el texto inicia así:No me importa lo que pienses de mi peloO de mis ojos o de mis dedos o de mi narizNo me importa lo que pienses de mis botas O si no te gusta mi ropa…Poco a poco esa lista de cosas superficiales de las que no se preocupan los verdaderos amigos, como: la apariencia, el atuendo o las posesiones, se transforma en lo que sí podría poner en juego su amistad: Realmente me importa que siempre juegues limpio y que no cambies las reglas cuando estoy ganando…Las ilustraciones de grafito y linóleo, en escala de grises con destellos azules y amarillos, nos muestran las pequeñas cosas que separan a dos amigas y las grandes cosas que las unen.
