What is the best way to be a friend when someone you love is hurting? Perfect for fans of The Rabbit Listened and The Boy with Big Feelings. Oskar and Aya are best friends who love to build things, make up stories, and visit the construction site where Oskar's aunt works. Most of... the time they have loads of fun together, but sometimes Oskar feels too sad to play. How can Aya help when she's not sure what Oskar needs? When a Friend Needs a Friend addresses mental health with unflinching candor and compassion and shows how sadness is a normal part of life, something to be felt rather than fixed. Readers might see themselves in both characters -- sometimes suffering as Oskar does, and sometimes being an ally as Aya is.The story also contains light STEM connections to construction, which acts as a subtle metaphor for building a friendship and creating something stable and lasting that can withstand the ups and downs of normal human emotions.Read less

Fire Resistant Maybe, Not Fireproof
This small passport holder/bag from Ready Now Bags is quite unusual, it claims to be fireproof! We tested it with a lighter flame and the 'fireproof' claim initially seemed to hold up: a few seconds of direct flame on one spot had no effect on the main outside material of the bag or on the zipper material. It did cause the [nylon?] fabric running across the top of the outside pocket to start melting, and presumably the tag would also melt (as another reviewer found).
My wife didn't like the bag anyway, so we decided to try a more rigorous test (initially I was hesitant, because I didn't want to ruin the bag). We put a spot in the middle of the back side of the bag in a direct candle flame for 30 seconds. It did not melt or catch fire and was only a bit degraded in appearance after the soot was scrubbed off. The inside of the bag in the area where the flame had been was hot, but not too hot to touch.
We repeated the 30 second candle flame test on a corner of the bag. This time the corner of the bag caught fire after about 20 seconds (specifically, the piping material around the edge), and the fabric part of the zipper melted all the way through.
I haven't tried lighting other hand bags on fire, so I'm not sure how an average one would compare, but I think 'fireproof' is too much of a claim, it may be fair to say this bag is 'fire resistant'.
The material is neat and I would say attractive.
Note that the bag is pretty thin [8.9in x 4.8 in x 0.7in], which is perfect for some purposes but you can't cram a lot of stuff into it.
I don't know whether the RFID block works, but it doesn't seem to impede a cellphone signal at all when a cellphone is placed inside the bag (tested before fire tests).
The construction quality of the bag is just okay, it's a little bit uneven/wrinkled around the edges; this material is probably difficult to work with. No functional problems, though. The pockets and slots for organizing on the inside of the bag are nice.
The loop on the back that the hand strap is attached to is pretty thick and seems robust, you could attach a longer strap for shoulder or neck carry if desired.
If the bag was only advertised as 'fire resistant' I would give it a higher score, but it is advertised as 'fireproof' which is quite an overclaim.
