Illustrated by
Anne Wilsdorf.
Unhappy about starting school, Sophie (Sophie's Squash) insists her squash Bonnie and Baxter are "all the friends I need." Over time, cracks appear in Sophie's resolve to keep all nonsquash at arm's length, to the benefit of tenacious Steven Green. The text and loose-lined watercolor and ink illustrations treat quirky-kid behavior respectfully, rooting the story firmly in a child's world of small dramas and big feelings.
