This book is about a valuable lesson in life – how a friendship is formed. It shows that if one really tries and the two sides give in a little, great things can happen and friendships can be made.

As school lets out for summer, the 7 year olds yearn to spend time together before planned activities pull them apart. They plan a "pink sleepover." As they prepare, though, they hear of a fashion show.
Natalie Tinti establishes tension and conflict like a pro. She brings the story to a satisfying conclusion. The girls manage to participate in the fashion show and establish a friendship with Kiki.

And each girl brings her own special talent into play. This is a book that empowers, excellent for a young reader and adults will find it amazing also!”
