Enemy PieLanguage: English | Español | |
When his dad suggests making an “enemy pie,” the boy in this book is excited, but confused about the requirement of spending an entire day with his adversary. In the end, he learns how to turn a best enemy into a best friend. A series of young friends share stories of how they become friends and how they make their friendships work. Then LeVar introduces us to two friends from very different backgrounds who spend the day exploring their cultural differences. They discover that they are more similar than they ever would have thought. |
