You're Not My Best Friend Anymore

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Soman. Published spring 1998. Molly and Ben share a friendship, a two-family house, and an annual birthday party. They fight shortly before the special day but have the party "for the sake of the grown-ups." In a contrived ending, they make up when each gives the other a special birthday gift. Soman's watercolor illustrations are expressive and best at showing the loneliness and longing Ben and Molly feel before they make up.
