\"\"A feel-good picture book about best friendship told with sensitivity and an open ending\u2014squirrel and mushroom are best friends until another best friend comes to play.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This morning when I was out walking, I found a best friend. At least I think so. It certainly looks a lot like it! He really has a best friend kind of face.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this funny picture book exploring a forever childhood question about friendship, squirrel and a mushroom explore the forest through the seasons, show each other special trees, build snow mushrooms, share the good times and bad\u2014which become good bad times alongside a friend.<\/p>\n

Then spring arrives, and so does a new friend. And then another. This raises a profound question for an overthinking squirrel: should we have just one best friend?<\/p>\n

What is the answer? I've been pondering and friends are just good to have in all their guises and sometimes best friends change places?<\/p>\n
