About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the wonderful, yet sometimes tricky, reality of a friendship with someone who is their total polar opposite. Whether your child is the high-energy risk-taker or the quiet, artistic soul, they will see their own social dynamics reflected in the playful relationship of Bink and Gollie. This story captures the essence of true partnership, showing how friends can have completely different goals while still being each other's biggest fans. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a state fair, the book follows the duo through three short chapters as they tackle arcade games, talent shows, and fortune tellers. It is an ideal bridge for emerging readers who are moving past picture books but still crave visual storytelling. It masterfully models how to support a friend's dreams, even when those dreams involve winning a giant donut or performing on stage, making it a heartwarming choice for building social-emotional intelligence.
