This is a two for one deal in my opinion:
A sweet story for children about friendship and how our friends can help change us for the better.
And passion filled a parable for adults, filled with underlying animal archetypes and rich symbolism if we're willing to dive into the watering hole of life and notice. My personal favorite character was Lincoln, I could imagine him saying, something like“Sometimes you have to leave your Pride, to find your own.”
Bravo Michele Jennae!
