My friend Dorothy is
very, very big. Plus, she always drops crumbs when she eats, and
birds often land on her head without her realizing it. That’s why
the others don’t accept her and even ask me not to be friends with
someone who is so different—as if being different were a bad thing!
You know something? I don’t just think she’s wonderful …she’s
my best friend, too.
DOROTHY: A Different
Kind of Friend is a fun tale about the special people we all know,
the ones who need us the most, and who bring so much joy to our daily
lives. A beautiful ode to all of those whose solidarity and
tenderness make our world a better place.
