About The Book
Celebrate the wonder of new friends, old friends, and everything-in-between friends in this joyful, resonant picture book that’s “a delightful springboard to stimulate creative ideas and spark conversations” (Kirkus Reviews).
There are many kinds of friends—old friends, new friends, friends that last a lifetime—and the day to make new friends is always near, if you look. This story celebrates all of them: who they are, where we find them, and what we count on them for.
