A simple story about the little acts of sharing and kindness that make a day special.
A hand is perfect for holding.
A smile is just right for hello.
A pinkie is waiting to promise and
FRIENDS, best friends, are for sharing.
Come join two best friends on a camping trip as they share the wonderful things they do outdoors with family and friends: meals, laughter, adventures, stories, campfire songs. All the things that make an outdoor experience exciting and memorable. But the most important thing--love--more than anything else, is always for sharing.
Target age: 4 to 8
