Harper ★★★★★

The signature on the inside page was crisp and well-placed, which made it feel extra special as a gift. Eddy’s leap of faith is such a clever way to talk about friendship with young kids, and the humor kept even me chuckling.

Miles ★★★★★

The story about Eddy’s leap is such a sweet take on friendship, and the surprise of finding it signed on the title page made it extra special for our bedtime routine. My kid giggled at the goldfish’s antics and asked to read it again right away.

Hazel F. ★★★★★

The inscription on the title page is a lovely touch, and the story's message about finding courage in new friendships really landed with my six-year-old. Finished it twice in one sitting, which says a lot for a book with such a simple premise.
