THE FRIENDSHIP OF HESPER AND RANI
Book ID/图书代码： 14940114B71593
English Summary/英文概要： The pond near the edge of the meadow glistened silver-gold in the sunlight. Looking like a magic mirror, it sat in the midst of cattails and low bushes surrounded by a carpet of lemon-green, apple-green, forest-green grass. So begins The Friendship of Hesper and Rani, the story of a tadpole and a caterpillar who become friends and help each other through the concerns they experience as their bodies metamorphose into frog and butterfly. Wonderful realistic illustrations by Marsha Mello bring the characters to life. This book is an excellent resource for teachers because the life cycles of the leopard frog and skipper butterfly are accurately woven into a friendship tale written to help children grow, learn to deal with their emotions, and develop greater self-esteem. The Friendship of Hesper and Rani is truly a story for the child in everyone.

A gentle tale of two friends who undergo life-changing events while they explore the importance of friendship. Their metamorphosis is linked with charming and meaningful exchanges of how problems such as loneliness and self-image can be overcome through understanding. The beautiful illustrations provide an excellent framework to the story. In addition to insight into relationships, the book also imparts simple biological details. Another advantage is that it will invite discussion between adults and children about values. I highly recommended it for reading to young children, for independent reading by children in primary school and for the child in every adult! --Dr. Karen Pulford, freelance medical writer/consultant
A charming story, masterfully illustrated. --Stan Trauth, PhD, Professor of Zoology, Arkansas State University
The Friendship of Hesper and Rani is a sweet story of friendship, and I loved the illustrations, which are beautiful, warm, and inviting. Since young children constantly grow and change and are expected to accomplish new tasks, this story could help them see change and challenges as natural, not to be feared but to be celebrated. --Joy Trauth, instructor, Department of Biological Sciences, Arkansas State University
