Iko's First Friend

by Agatha Barachina

Iko longs to be loved, but many people avoid him because of the way he looks. Some people, like Kiko, show him kindness. One day, Iko sees a snake about to attack Kiko. Will he find a way to keep Kiko safe from the snake?

A moving, big-hearted story told by a scarred stray longing to be loved — a gentle nudge toward kindness for anyone who looks different on the outside.
