Reviews
★ “With an ice cream-colored palette and an energetic drawing style that conveys the entire spectrum between worry and absolute glee, this is a generous, SEL (Social and Emotional Learning)-laced glimpse of how all the best friendships get their start.” Starred review, School Library Journal
“The text is a well-balanced representation of Abby’s voice in rhyming quartets that glide effortlessly for a smooth read-aloud. The page turns are expertly designed to maximize suspense and drama. Marley’s innocent illustrations combine pink and pearls with wet dogs and cargo pants for a delightful celebration of a broad range of girlhood expressions and experiences. . . Funny, subtly empowering, and sweet.” Kirkus
