Making friends can be scary and confusing.
Being different can be frustrating.
But if you be yourself, you will always have friends!
Eric is a lonely squirrel with a big forest all to himself. He wants, more than anything, to have a friend to share the forest with. When a bluejay named Nic Nic appears, Eric is very excited! But, she can fly and cannot climb and Eric can climb and cannot fly. How can they play together and have fun when they are so different? Maybe the Wise Old Owl of the forest can help them find the answer.
Eric and Nic Nic, Unlikely Friends, part two in the Lessons with Wise Old Owl series, includes striking and colorful illustrations created by oil landscape painter Sandra Difazio and a glossary of phonetics and definitions for key words such as "hibernate", "splendid", and "agile". This book will encourage readers to explore the benefits of healthy communication, conflict resolution, and confidence in being different.
