App Description

My Friend Isabelle
By Eliza Woloson, Illustrated by Bryan Gough
PicPocket Books
Ages: 2-8

Synopsis:
My Friend Isabelle is a charming story about two young friends, told with simplicity and grace. Charlie and Isabelle are the same age and share a love of drawing, dancing, playing at the park and snacks! Like most friends, they are also different. This book offers an opportunity for a discussion about Special Needs, tolerance, acceptance and friendship by showing that “differences are what makes the world so great.”
