written by Darcy Pattison

How does young John Hercules Po get along with the 19 girls in his kindergarten class, considering he is the single boy? His older brother thinks the girls will turn him into a "sissy"... Through their recess fantasy adventures to places like the Amazon, the Great Wall of China, and the moon, something wonderful happens -friendship! The original art was created with brush, gouache, and crayon, with added digital enhancements.
