Nikolai wants to be a good person, but he doesn't always know the best way to go about it. He decides to ask his friends three questions, the answers to which will provide him with a path to follow: When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do? Based on a story by Leo Tolstoy and beautifully illustrated in watercolor, this thoughtful book is a great choice for classroom discussions or talks between parent and child.
