No matter what the future brings, true friends will be there for you no matter what... But sometimes it's still nice to hear it out loud. Rat and Bear and wonderfully reminiscent of Piglet and Pooh, and this gorgeous book communicates love and life in such a sweet and moving way. I'll be honest... I might have gotten a little teary.

Description
A universal story about the everlasting bonds of friendship and love, from two award-winning creators.
There are some things that only a best friend can do—hold your hand when reading a scary story, carry you safely across a river, bandage your hurts, say it’s okay if you're grouchy, and best of all, forever hold you in their heart.
Through a series of questions and answers, Bear tells his friend Rat that best friends will always be together, in rain or shine, in good times and bad, forever and ever.
