And for my review, some notes on Becky Scharnhorst and Jiarui Jiang's picture book BEST BUDS. It's got plant gags galore, and really leans into celebrating owning your weirdness and living your best life. Spencer's world revolves around his plant friends and the humans in his life just kind of make space for him to live his truth. Best part about it is finding someone else with whom you can be weird. Not to coopt who you are and how weird you feel, but to find someone with whom you can be weird just… in parallel.
