“Seeking Best Friend is the story of a young girl looking to find the perfect pal, but discovers along the way that kindness is just the beginning of a good friendship. It’s not easy to find someone who knows how to treasure hunt and adventure in all the right ways! This sweet story rings with a truly child-centered perspective and will have readers giggling and smiling on every page.”
—Joanna Ho, New York Times bestselling author of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, illustrated by Dung Ho

“Seeking Best Friend is a hilarious and charming story which invites young readers to consider what makes a good friend. Readers will laugh as the applicants become increasingly less suitable, and the must-have list gets longer and sillier. Fire-breathers need not apply!”
—Kristy Everington, author of Isobel Adds It Up, illustrated by A.G. Ford

“In Alison Marcotte and illustrator Diane Ewen’s Seeking Best Friend, finding a best friend is delightfully difficult when applicants include a robot, pirate, dragon, and even an anteater. Colorful and inviting illustrations will captivate young readers as the potential best friends create havoc. All ends well in this fun read that captures the power of imagination.”
—Rebecca Kraft Rector, author of Squish Squash Squished, illustrated by Dana Wulfekotte

“Seeking Best Friend is the type of book that I look forward to having on my children’s bookshelves. In a world filled with great expectations and where the grass is often greener, this is a sweet story that helps us realize that what we are looking for may be right under our nose. Kudos to Alison for bringing such a sweet story into the world.”
—Clothilde Ewing, author of Stella Keeps the Sun Up, illustrated by Lynn Gaines
