I loved that the illustrations for this book were photographs of the two children. That made it a little easier to understand what the two looked like and i enjoyed looking at the memories they made together through real photographs instead of drawn illustrations. I was glad to see character development in Moira because she learned to tell Marina to be quiet instead of running away from her. There was an important lesson in this book because it shows that even though the two girls had different disabilities, their thoughts and feelings were the same.
