McAvoy's friendship tale features two girls who recount how they learned to be friends and bonded over their personality differences. Caregivers will also find helpful starter questions to ask when exploring differences with their kids. Those questions provide a framework within which young readers may learn to value and accept differences in themselves and others. Even after the story, readers are provided with a list of powerhouse women who were either 'smart' or 'sporty, ' and a glossary of words encourages supportive friendships.
