Ferald is a lovely storybook that encourages children to embrace new experiences and have fun with friends. The characters are relatable because they engage in a debate in which one friend wants to try a different path, while the other is hesitant to embrace the idea. However, by the end of the day, they make new friends and learn new things. I loved the story because it embodies the essence of adventure - facing the unknown with courage and determination. Keith Williams does an outstanding job of teaching children this lesson in a way they will understand and appreciate. Ferald and Birzy have appealing, friendly, and adventurous personalities that make them adorable characters. I fell in love with them. The illustrations perfectly depict each scene and make the book look colorful. I highly recommend this book to anyone afraid to go on an adventure. Take a friend along and experience something new.
