Even Better Than Sprinkles

A Story About Best Friends

Illustrated by Heather Fox
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.
