REVIEWS for We Are (Not) Friends:

“Simple, humorous cartoon illustrations on generous white space are created in ink and watercolor. Fun for read-alouds or read-alones.” Booklist

“Kang and Weyant’s child-centric sensibilities are funny and empathetic. Humorous expressions and comedic timing lighten the rejection and anger oft stemming from young group dynamics. This friendship will likely face many more tests, but these pals are stronger because of this one.” Kirkus Reviews

“I am excited to say that this may be one of my favorites of the series. I can really see young children connecting with our fuzzy friends and the challenge of welcoming in a new friend. I look forward to sharing more when we get closer to the release date.” KidLit Frenzy
