“In elementary school, we'd always fight over who got to check out this book on library days. It was a constant battle. When I look back, I can't believe that even at such a young age, we understood how important this story was. Little first graders fighting tooth and nail to be reminded how friendships are not to be taken for granted.
To this day, a good 14 years since I first read this book, it still makes me cry.”
