Best Frints in the Whole Universe

(1) PS Space aliens Yelfred and Omek "have been best frints since they were little blobbies." Like any friendship, theirs has its ups and downs. Things come to a head, though, when Omek crashes Yelfred's new spaceship. Portis's near-nonsense-words text plays it straight, with a clear-eyed reserve that wards off didacticism; her digitally colored mixed-media illustrations feature simple shapes, vivid hues, and pop art–like textures.
