"This is a lovely story about restorative justice in action . . . a poignant reminder—not just for kids—that those who seem to be our enemies are themselves often hurting and in need.” —Howard Zehr, author of The Little Book of Restorative Justice

"Empathy, inclusion, belonging, and repairing of hurts and harms are the not-so-secret keys to all effective restorative justice and peacemaking practice. This delightful and beautifully illustrated little story for young children aims to affirm and foster the development of these crucial virtues. What could be more worthwhile than that?" —Chris Marshall, PhD, emeritus professor of restorative justice, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

"This delightfully illustrated book has such a simple message about restorative problem-solving - everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. Kindness, empathy, and compassion will always break through the harms caused by those who are hurting. It’s a perfect lesson for our young ones!" —Marg Thorsborne, restorative practices author, trainer, facilitator, Australia
 
"Dr. Lindsey Pointer shows us how creating space for young people, especially those at risk of being ostracized by the majority, to be vulnerable and share their fears can create deeper understanding. The dance that Wally and Freya go through, as beautifully illustrated, is a perfect portrayal of restorative justice in practice." —Christina Parker, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo
