Reviews
A cute and enjoyable story about friends who quarrel and make up, but I do wish the narrative included actually saying sorry—but their actions are thoughtful towards each other when they resolve the conflict and hug as "favorite friends" once again.
A situation friends find themself in all too often—a small disagreement that gets out of hand—is brought to life with this story. The illustrations are adorable and the message and resolution is sweet :)

The Creative Behind the Book
Ariane has been drawing all her life, but only caught the picture book bug while working as an Au Pair near Chicago. She fell in love with all the picture books in the libraries she frequented. Never did it occur to her that she could do such a thing herself. Fast forward and a Psychology Degree and Masters in Children’s Book Illustration later and now in London, UK, her dream came true and she got her first picture book—Ice in the Jungle—published. She often bases her stories on her own experience, anecdotes and even research. With her books, she hopes to show children and adults alike how we can all live and learn together, no matter who we are or where we are from.
