TITLE: EVEN BETTER THAN SPRINKLES: A STORY ABOUT BEST FRIENDS

AUTHOR: LINDA SKEERS

ILLUSTRATOR: HEATHER FOX

PUBLISHER: Random House Studio

​OPENING LINES:
 
A friend will dress up I your homemade unicorn costume because unicorns are magnificent and magical creatures.
 
Even when your friend is the back half, which is the least magical part of a unicorn.

This adorable picture book about friendship has so much to love. Linda Skeers narrates from the point of view of one child who defines friendship in kid-relatable ways such as, “A friend lets you be the knight when you play knights and dragons. Even though you were the knight last time. And the time before that.” But this is more than a concept book all about what makes a friend. It conveys a story about how sometimes friends do something to cause a rift in a friendship, how that feels, and how they can repair the friendship. Heather Fox’s bright, cheerful illustrations are the perfect match for a story with sprinkles, unicorns, knights, dragons, glitter, birthday cakes, and party hats. Bonus: She includes one of my favorite elements in a picture books – a surprise cover under the dust jacket. I loved this one from cover to cover!
