NUTMEG & BARLEY: A Budding Friendship by Janie Bynum An exuberant squirrel and a shy mouse discover that reaching out to someone who’s not like you may be challenging, but can yield some surprising rewards. R E V I E W S From School Library Journal: “Nutmeg is a squirrel who loves to chatter with her friends and dance; Barley is a mouse who likes to grow flowers and relax in solitude with music. But when he gets sick, the two discover that they can be good friends despite their differences--and even find something that they both like to do. In a few brief sentences, Bynum describes the beginning of what looks to be a beautiful friendship. Her charming watercolor-and-pastel illustrations of the two creatures going about their daily routines portray each personality beautifully and create a lovely oversize book for storytime or a cozy one-on-one read-aloud.” |
