About The Book

Friendship comes naturally to a boy who moves to town and instantly befriends a variety of plants in this heartwarming and funny picture book for fans of Strictly No Elephants and When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree.

When Spencer moves to a new town, his mom is worried he may have a hard time making friends. But it’s easy! First, Spencer meets Fred, who is an excellent listener. Then there’s Dottie, who’s a bit wild, and Eugene, who’s a jokester. The only thing is, Fred, Dottie, and Eugene are all…plants.

While the adults in Spencer’s life question whether he might want friends he doesn’t have to water, Spencer knows that friendship can blossom in the most unexpected places.
