About This Book:
When you find someone who agrees to be the back end of a unicorn costume, who names their goldfish after you, and is always willing to be the dragon when you play knights and dragons, you’ve found a best friend.
Having a best friend is the greatest feeling ever. But it’s terrible when something happens to break up that friendship. Now it feels like you are being hugged by a porcupine. Now it’s time to figure out how to repair a broken friendship. A good place to start is a homemade card with glitter everywhere and a special cupcake with lots of sprinkles. When you add an apology, it’s the best way back to being best friends.
This funny and sweet story is a guide to celebrating and caring for your besties even when you don’t seem to agree.

When Friends Hit a Bumpy Patch
Of course, I just noticed that both little girls are wearing skirts. Can you even buy skirts for little girls anymore? Or tiny cardigans? I don’t have access to any actual tiny people.
No matter. Young readers will no doubt have had several incidents, even if they are young, of their friends making them angry, and this book would be helpful in working through that. I can see an adult asking a child to list some of the things that the child does with a best friend that makes that person indispensable to them. The idea to make an apology card (and maybe some cupcakes with sprinkles) is one to be embraced as well.
Have this book on hand for the inevitable tears that flow when friendships hit bumpy patches, along with Yoon’s Be a Friend, Watson’s Best Friends in the Universe, or Underwood and Ruzzier’s Walter Had a Best Friend.
