"A True Friend Stands By You -- Even When Skies Are Gray"

Introduce your child to a story that teaches kindness, courage, and the power of true friendship! With its heartwarming rhymes and vibrant illustrations, this book shows kids why it's important to:
? Stand up for friends -- even when others laugh at them.
? Embrace differences -- because what's on the outside doesn't define a person.
? Be brave against bullying -- just like Max, who defends Martha when she's teased.

What's the story about?
Max is excited to fly the kite he built with his dad. But when it gets stuck in a tree, help comes from Martha -- a girl with a heart of gold and a smile as bright as sunshine. Together, they share a perfect day of laughter and play. The next morning, Max faces a tough choice: stay silent or stand up for his new friend when bullies target her on the school bus.
