Madeline and Kennedy were best friends that were like two peas in a pod. They did everything together and they even liked the same things!

Both girls were in the same fourth grade class and they loved their teacher, Mrs. Miller

Eating pizza and drinking apple juice was their favorite meal during lunch hour.

Madeline and Kennedy loved rainy days. They liked jumping in big puddles and carrying their blue umbrellas.

Riding home from school was always fun, because they got to sit next to each other on the big yellow bus!

Before bedtime, even though both girls lived in different houses with their parents, they liked to look up at the pretty night sky, that was filled with bright stars!

One day, Kennedy noticed things that her and Madeline didn't have in common. She began to worry about what she noticed, so she mentioned it to Madeline.

Yes, you're right Kennedy!

My skin is darker than yours.

"My hair is also wild and curly and your hair is nice and straight," Kennedy noted.

"You have a point there, Kennedy," Madeline confirmed in response.
