This is an amazing book about a young girl who doesn't have any friends yet, but makes a friend by bonding with another girl (who is also her neighbor) over a beautiful pebble. They become the best of friends, but one day her friend that she made sadly has to move away. The little girl feels alone and sad, but she then notices a new family moving into the house her friend used to live in. She watches and realizes that another little girl has moved into the house, and wonders if they'll become friends. She goes to her house and decides to show her the same pebble she showed the other girl, and sure enough, the two girls became best friends.
This is an adorable book and I would love to have it in my classroom for the younger children. An appropriate grade level is K-1st because the vocabulary and sentence structure isn't complicated so a younger student could understand it. I would have this in my classroom library so students are able to access the book and read it whenever they would like.
