On Tuesday, William and his mom notice another little boy who might need a bit of encouragement. As William and David?s friendship develops, their confidence does too. When Friday comes, will both boys be able to say goodbye to their moms and join in the fun? This tender tale of adjusting to an often difficult new phase in life features sensitive text and charming artwork portraying an ethnically diverse classroom.
