Dear Reader,
Meeting a stranger can be a scary thing, especially a giant one! Sometimes we don't speak the same language as the strangers we meet, and they look very different from us, but in the end, we are all living beings and deserve love, respect and friendship. We hope that you and you parents will create many fond memories, cuddled up together, reading this story about a little girl who meets a curious new stranger....
Caution: If a stranger does approach you, you should be with a parent or a trusted adult before trying to speak with them!
