Review:

"Excellent, believable advice, with boxes―what could be better than that?" ―Kirkus Reviews on Big Friends

"Sarah captures the joys and pain of a camaraderie that seems exquisitely perfect―until it isn't. . . . Davies makes the story sing from beginning to end with lovely drawings that feel sturdy and resolutely optimistic, even when Birt is at his lowest." ―Publishers Weekly on Big Friends
