“Benny & Bernice is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated story that reminds children of the benefits of befriending those that are different and of forgiving others. Through this lovely story, children begin to understand the importance of inclusivity and are reminded of the benefits of loving others as they are. I would recommend it highly.”
