When you're wrong . . . and when you're right.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2—In this warm tale, inspired by Ephesians 3: 17–19, two cuddly animals interact with one another, demonstrating their love. They will always love each other, be it day or night, if the fun is past or yet to come, or should one be right and the other be wrong. Based on their depictions in the artwork, one animal is clearly a small aqua rabbit, while the other appears to be a stocky lavender bear. Brown's soft, full-spread artwork nicely matches Prasadam-Halls's brief rhyming verse. The opening spread begins with a sunrise and the friends walking along a forest path. Subsequent scenes follow the two companions sharing a variety of activities that take them through the seasons. They ride in a hot-air balloon, scuba dive, build a snowman, play in the rain, and read a bedtime story. The cheerful artwork confirms the loving bond between them. This gentle, reassuring story is a calming tale just right for family or group sharing.—Lynn Vanca, Freelance Librarian, Akron, OH
