Oh my goodness, this is fabulous. STILL FRIENDS by @troystory.bsky.social with art by Mike Deas. I read this aloud to my husband, teen kids, and my dog, and we all love it, just as young kids will. Both a humorous and profound commentary on friendship. @orcabook.bsky.social #kidlit 📚👍

cover of STILL FRIENDS shows a gray statue of a seated girl with a dog on her head and pigeons on her lap with trees and a park scene behind them; photo is of book in my hand in front of light blue wall
