the book was fantastic. i remember having a report regarding this book and every time i read the book again my perspectives changes. at first i thought it was just a children's book because of its illustrations but behind those are different lessons and symbols fitted to what's happening in recent years.a touching story of friendship and love which what really matters the most.

For me I never forget the rose and the fox.
