Henry and Friends

When Henry the Alligator invites Samantha the Squirrel to play with him and his friends, she’s hesitant at first–after all, he has such large, pointed teeth! But, after accepting his invitation, the two become fast friends and, soon, Samantha has many new friends to play with!

Henry and Friends is written with an eye toward inclusiveness. Henry and his friends come in all different shapes, sizes, and species–a valuable lesson to us all: the world becomes a better, more loving place when we include people of all different backgrounds.
