I joined the queue to borrow this title in May 2024 via Borrowbox as I had been short a book for a reading challenge with the word 'every' in the title. I didn't get my lend until this morning (7/6/24) but a lot has happened in the two weeks since I first saw this book.
Sadly Rob Burrow lost his fight with MND a few days ago and it added an extra layer of sadness when reading this book. Aimed at promoting friendship in children, this book was beautiful- the artwork was fun and yet meaningful.
This couldn't be anything other than a 5 star- I hope it raises a lot of money for charity and we find a cure for this horrific cruel disease.

Yes this is a children's book but I wanted to read it as it is written by two incredible people, the late Rob Burrows and Kevin Sinfield, and also because I thought it would be uplifting and it was!

I wanted to read this book because I’m a massive Rugby League fan (Warrington Wolves supporter) since I was ten-year-old. Rob and Kevin have always been respected as players when they were playing for Leeds and even more now because of how they’ve both dealt with the situation with Rob kicking MND’s ass and Kev raising awareness and money for MND. For two people who’s always been loyal to one club and are always working to better themselves is every other team’s dream. Some people become club heroes and some people become legends. Rob and Kev have stolen the nation’s heart. I read this book a few weeks ago, but I hadn’t got time to write the review. Now, it’s bittersweet since Rob has passed away. This book has so much more meaning now.

I loved this book; I think it was such an easy read. This book made me laugh, cry, and feel all sort of emotions. I don’t have anything to hate on this book. I think everyone should read this book, even people who don’t know rugby league or Kevin or Rob personally. It’s so inspirational. I am fully aware that this is a children's book, however, I believe everyone should read this book. It has a positive message; the drawings are beautiful. I hope everyone has a friendship like Kevin and Rob in their lifetime.

I'm a fan of Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrows, I've followed their journey. Great book to read to my nephews. It's a lovely book on friendship. The illustrations are perfect. Great way to raise money for MND.

My Mum bought me this book for Christmas after running the Rob Burrow 2023 Marathon. A very beautiful book, hits gratitude and sadness all once as an adult but it's beautiful kid's book I'd like to keep and read to my children one day 💙💛.

A lovely celebration and memory of a special friendship.
A lovely reminder to children (and adults I guess!), that friendship is precious and everyone needs a special friend.
