Bessie and Ninny are the best of friends. On bright, moonlit nights, Ninny playfully tosses buttons at Bessie's window to wake her up. Down the drainpipe Bessie slides, and together they run off to visit the grave of Ninny's wise grandfather, Oppa. It was Oppa who taught them the three most important things in the world: to dance, to sing, and to tell wonderful stories. Inspired by his enduring wisdom, the two friends make a very special, lifelong promise to each other. They vow that if one of them passes away, the other will dance on their grave to celebrate their memory. As the years go by, Bessie and Ninny grow up, facing war, separation, and the passage of time. This beautiful and tender story gently explores the deep value of keeping promises and shows how true friendship can endure forever.
