(2) K-3 This collection of twenty-five poems teases out many of friendship's fundamentals as well as its more nuanced complexities. Colored-pencil and crayon illustrations on manila paper help keep the mood bright, but also appropriately imperfect and rough. While the poetry vacillates from serious to silly, the tone remains comforting and affirming throughout. Readers will likely recognize aspects of their own friendship dynamics and may find needed humor and solace.
