This makes for a difficult time for Petrith and the other toys until Petrith shows that being different isn't bad or good, it's just life.</p> <p>Written by Scottish-American author Annie Hallinan and illustrated by the extraordinary Amy Preveza, this soft-bound picture book is a tale of trust, compassion, understanding and tolerance.
