Synopsis

Old friends, new friends, best friends, and schoolfriends...whether in the classroom, in daycare centers, at birthday parties, or at the playground, nothing, it seems, is a more important issue in a child's eyes, than the new bonds and friendships touching their daily lives. Figgy Twosocks and Jefferson Bear, two lovable and endearing characters, animate the timeless and universal theme of friendship and explore the elements that make their relationship so special -- playing, sharing, helping...and forgiving, in a warmly illustrated tale that will melt the hearts of children and adults alike.
