Perfect realistic story picture book. Our narrator misinterprets something her best friend said that she heard 20th hand and gets mad, and then realizes that he's her truest, bluest friend. Great story for kids to hear and to always think kindness! Fun colorful splatter-filled artistic illustrations, too!

A little girl gives her friend James the silent treatment when she thinks he is talking about her behind her back. However, she quickly realizes how long a day is without his friendship – and exactly what happened to cause the rift.
While I enjoyed this book and think it is an excellent tool to help children learn about forgiveness and gossip, I thought that the point of resolution was a little vague for younger minds. I caught it but it was so subtle and will depend greatly on a narrator’s voice and tone for listeners to catch it. If reading aloud, be sure to give it a read through first.

This is a super cute picture book about friendship. I love that this story deals with how easy it is for friends to have issues with each other and that those issues can often be simple misunderstandings. This is a great book for any classroom dealing with he said/ she said problems.

I like this story about a misunderstanding that leads to one-sided strife in a friendship, but felt that something was missing in the climactic moment that left me unsure if that point was made as strongly as I hoped. The illustrations are enjoyable, and I think many kids could relate to it.

As an overly sensitive type, I really appreciated this book quite a bit.

Excellent book for talking to kids about rumors and the importance of going directly to the source.

A super sweet book that would be good for teaching kids about rumours and how they can easily be misunderstood!

I very much enjoyed the artwork and there's no question that books on this subject are needed, but I wanted there to be more resolution!
