Description: That's what a friend does! One day, Stick came out to play at the playground. Stone came out to play too. But Stone isn't very good at swinging. Pinecone comes along and starts teasing Stone. Stick, standing nearby, shouts, "Go away!" Stick has stood up for Stone. Stick says, "That's just what a stick does. It's also what a friend does." Stick truly is a wonderful friend—a true friend, in fact. But not everything that lies ahead for these two friends will be good. What will happen to Stick and Stone? Stick and Stone is a book that gives readers the gift of true friendship and laughter. The Joy of Making Friends, a Happy Ending Built on True Friendship Stone looks a bit like the number 0. Stick looks a bit like the number 1. In fact, there's one more number these two friends resemble together. The moment Stick and Stone—who were always alone—become true friends and come together as one, that number appears. Even though Stick and Stone are so different, they became perfect partners for each other because each was willing to reach out a hand when the other was struggling. It's not simply about being okay on your own—it's about the moments of loneliness and needing help that Bukgeukgom turns into food for the soul, sometimes funny, sometimes touching, because they shared their hearts when they were lonely and in need. A true friend is one who stands by you no matter what. Real friendship grows when we fill in each other's gaps. Stick and Stone shares the touching beauty of friendship through the story of how Stick and Stone become true friends.
