Addie Rean Learns a Lesson

By Ebony Webb

Addie Rean is a rambunctious child with a heart of gold and a pension for the extreme. Her story, told by her nameless best friend, is one of laughter, heroism, and most importantly, friendship. At a time when children are learning their place in the world, Addie Rean challenges us to check the space within ourselves that make us unique and to define the love we both have to give and want to receive.
