Description

A love letter to making friends from unexpected places, If You Make a Call on a Banana Phone is silly, wise, and surprising all at once.

If you make a call from a banana phone, who will answer? What will you talk about? Will you share secrets or ask questions? No one knows what will happen, really. This very silly story is full of the joy and wisdom that comes from making new friends from unexpected places.

Go ahead, pick up a banana and make a call. You'll be glad you did.
