Seeking Best Friend
Illustrated By: Diane Ewen
When a child sends out an open call for a best friend, the most unlikely candidates apply for the job. But when each candidate disappoints, the child's list of requirements grows longer and longer--and more and more ridiculous! Only when she discovers that the way to find a friend is through being a good friend does she finally find the right person for the position.
​
This humorous picture book is sure to make you laugh and will spur great conversations with children about what it means to be a good friend.
