APPEALS TO: MANY

Steven loves to make everything even. Steven likes to share by splitting something like noodles in half. But sometimes that doesn't work, so he learned that on a slide kids need to take turns.  He's happy as long as it's fun, and fair, and still even.  But what happens when some things are fair but not even?

Finison has a humorous story about always trying to share and make things fair, and the life experiences that make fair impossible.  I enjoyed the semi graphic novel format and cute illustrations.
