Sandy Gingras evokes how good things can be when you and your environment are in happy agreement." --Stephen Dunn, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet An illustrated keepsake for your BFF that encompasses the ups, downs, and in-betweens of true friendship. Celebrating the fun and fulfilling, as well as the "flaws, fizzles, and foibles" of friendship, Sandy Gingras fuses her relaxed watercolor illustrations with an original narrative to craft the ultimate ode to friendship. With a special textured cover and heartfelt thoughts, Gingras reminds us that friends help friends forget and remember the bigger picture, they keep us in line, cheer us up through the gloomy times, respect our desire to be alone, and enable us to become a better version of ourselves. Without being overly saccharine, Gingras writes, "True friendship is bigger than anger . . . and well be friends until the end of always . . . because liking is a thing that grows and grows (even through the hard parts).
