A simple story about the little acts of sharing and kindness that make a day special.

A hand is perfect for holding.
A smile is just right for hello.        
A pinkie is waiting to promise and
FRIENDS, best friends, are for sharing.

Come join two best friends on a camping trip as they share the wonderful things they do outdoors with family and friends: meals, laughter, adventures, stories, campfire songs. All the things that make an outdoor experience exciting and memorable. But the most important thing—love—more than anything else, is always for sharing.
"A book to be shared again and again."—Kirkus Reviews

"The visuals of more diverse families enjoying the outdoors together is valuable. . . ."— The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books
