Dean Walley wrote a beloved string of small illustrated gift books for Hallmark through the 1960s and '70s, pairing his gentle, plainspoken verse with delicate artwork. This one, illustrated by Toshiko Muto, turns its attention to what it really means to have a friend. A faded inscription inside the cover — "from Mammy and Daddy" — is a quiet reminder this little book has already done its job as a gift once before.

A sweet gift for a dear friend, a charming shelf companion for a reading nook, or a lovely addition to a collection of mid-century Hallmark keepsakes.
