From the bestselling author of The Quiet Book comes an honest and touching new picture book about the ups and downs of friendship. Walter and Xavier are best friends. They do everything together! But then…quietly…slowly…Xavier becomes best friends with someone else. Walter goes from feeling hurt and left out to feeling confused and angry to feeling just plain lonely. Until one morning he wakes up feeling a tiny bit hopeful. That day, while out for a hike by himself, he meets Ollie. Could this be the beginning of a new friendship? Sometimes best friends aren’t forever, and that’s okay. Because there might be a new pal waiting just around the corner.
