Adorable art， and a sweet story of friendship。

While there are many things that separate these friends， they don't care。 They care about how good of a friend each is to the other。 A celebration of being friends with people who aren't exactly like us。 I had no idea Idle and Martinez-Neal are friends！ While the text kinda seems like children talking in run-on sentences， I wish it was complete sentences， or at least two separate sentences， one for things they don't care about and one for things they do care about。 A good book to talk about what While there are many things that separate these friends， they don't care。 They care about how good of a friend each is to the other。 A celebration of being friends with people who aren't exactly like us。 I had no idea Idle and Martinez-Neal are friends！ While the text kinda seems like children talking in run-on sentences， I wish it was complete sentences， or at least two separate sentences， one for things they don't care about and one for things they do care about。 A good book to talk about what it means to be a good friend！ 。。。more

This is a cute rhyming picture book about two friends and the things they don't and do care about。 It's a great lesson in priorities and concentrating on what's truly important。The pictures， a collaborative effort between Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal， are adorable。Recommended to those looking for simple picture books about values。 This is a cute rhyming picture book about two friends and the things they don't and do care about。 It's a great lesson in priorities and concentrating on what's truly important。The pictures， a collaborative effort between Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal， are adorable。Recommended to those looking for simple picture books about values。 。。。more

Hate that “I” is not capitalized in a CHILDREN’S BOOK FOR KIDS LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE， but gosh dang， if this isn’t the sweetest book about friendship 3

Julie Fogliano's lilting text is always so special！ The illustrations are really sweet and simple， and you see the two kiddos （and their colors） come together as the story progresses。 This book is made so much more wonderful by the back matter where you learn that Molly and Juana are real life besties！ Julie Fogliano's lilting text is always so special！ The illustrations are really sweet and simple， and you see the two kiddos （and their colors） come together as the story progresses。 This book is made so much more wonderful by the back matter where you learn that Molly and Juana are real life besties！ 。。。more

Read this at Powell’s and loved it。 What a wonderful trio to create a unique and accessible book with an outstanding albeit transparent message。

I like that the book is about how she doesn't care what her friend looks like， or where her friend lives， or if her food smells funny， or that her friends drawing of a frog looks like a bunny。 The ending of her stating off things she does care about is sweet。 This teaches kids that they should be themselves。 I like that the book is about how she doesn't care what her friend looks like， or where her friend lives， or if her food smells funny， or that her friends drawing of a frog looks like a bunny。 The ending of her stating off things she does care about is sweet。 This teaches kids that they should be themselves。 。。。more

Fogliano's playful rhyming text tells the story of a special friendship， but what really makes this picture book stand out is the collaborative artwork of real life best friends Idle and Martinez-Neal。 A timeless picture book that celebrates the joy of having a best friend: "but mostly i care that you're you and i'm meand i care that we're usand i care that we're we" Fogliano's playful rhyming text tells the story of a special friendship， but what really makes this picture book stand out is the collaborative artwork of real life best friends Idle and Martinez-Neal。 A timeless picture book that celebrates the joy of having a best friend: "but mostly i care that you're you and i'm meand i care that we're usand i care that we're we" 。。。more

“… but mostly i care that you’re you and i’m me …”There are so many things that are UNimportant about a person （the size of their ears or the clothes that they wear， for example） that you shouldn’t care about。 But there are so many things that are important to care about a person like they always play fair and whether they’re happy or sad。A beautiful celebration of friendship。

A trio of well-known， award-winning children's book creators come together to make a sweet story about friendship。The shining part of this book is Idle and Matinez-Neal's illustrations。 The real-life best friends worked together to make the drawings and it is seamless。 They work together so well and are perfect complements。 The use of only graphite and two colors is nice too - allowing them to combine their teal and yellow to make green （an artistic aspect that is very telling in a story about t A trio of well-known， award-winning children's book creators come together to make a sweet story about friendship。The shining part of this book is Idle and Matinez-Neal's illustrations。 The real-life best friends worked together to make the drawings and it is seamless。 They work together so well and are perfect complements。 The use of only graphite and two colors is nice too - allowing them to combine their teal and yellow to make green （an artistic aspect that is very telling in a story about two people coming together）。 。。。more

Very enjoyable picture book about friends。 Lots of rhyming and sappy friend stuff。 I love that。 The two illustration styles of Idle and Martinez-Neal work really well together; they are distinct but not so different that they are distracting。

A dreamy collaboration between two illustrators who have very distinct styles but works complementary with one another and the fun text。

Beautifully illustrated story about friendship and what matters。

Sweet story about two little persons that seem a little self conscious of how the other person feels about them， when come to find out those things are not what makes a friend at all。

Beautiful illustrations。 I love the combination of both illustrator styles and the way they’re depicted to highlight their differences but the things that both characters care about。 A lovely primer on friendship and acceptance。 Julie Fogliano always writes books that have all the right amounts of sweet， childlike wonder， and humor。

A concept book about how friends can be besties and still be completely different。 It's a great book to share in the classroom when talking about appreciating differences （or letting superficial differences be of little concern， because there are other things that REALLY matter）。 Lyricism/poetry is a given for this author， so if you enjoy Fogliano's other wonderful books， you should enjoy this one as well。 And the illustrator note， explaining why two Caldecott honorees ending up illustrating， pe A concept book about how friends can be besties and still be completely different。 It's a great book to share in the classroom when talking about appreciating differences （or letting superficial differences be of little concern， because there are other things that REALLY matter）。 Lyricism/poetry is a given for this author， so if you enjoy Fogliano's other wonderful books， you should enjoy this one as well。 And the illustrator note， explaining why two Caldecott honorees ending up illustrating， perfectly suits the subject of this book: friendship。 。。。more
