Grandma Gracie's World of Friends (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798990645455)

When Audrey's beloved pony falls ill, the veterinarian brings along a special helper-Max, a Japanese exchange student. At first, Audrey feels shy and uncertain. Max looks, talks, and acts differently than the friends she's used to.

With gentle wisdom, Grandma Gracie helps Audrey see that while people around the world may look or live differently, the things that truly matter-family, kindness, and friendship-are what connect us all.

As Audrey slowly opens her heart, she discovers that new friends can be found in the most unexpected places. Through shared games, laughter, and caring for her pony Navajo, Audrey learns that differences aren't something to fear-they're something to celebrate.

This touching story of curiosity, courage, and compassion reminds children that the world is full of friends waiting to be discovered, no matter where they come from.
