Illustrated by
LeUyen Pham.
Freckleface Strawberry is now best friends with former bully Windy Pants Patrick. When kids at school point out how dissimilar they are (e.g., girl and boy), they stop playing together--until realizing that their similarities outweigh their differences. Pham's illustrations highlight the kids' opposite physical appearances while amusingly emphasizing the importance of their mutual hobbies, such as playing monsters.
