4 ⭐ This book explores what it means to have a new friend if your new friend was Persian. It goes through what a day of friendship would be like when invited over to a Persian household. This book was lovely. The illustrations have this pastel feel that is soft and embracing and warm to that match perfectly with the thoughts provided in the book. That meeting new people and having new experiences is a great thing and you are welcome anytime.
