This charming 5×5 book packs a big message for that special friend who has touched your life. My Sweetest Friend is a wonderful form of appreciation when someone has given you a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on, or shown that they care with a warm smile and a willing ear. California artist Dena Fishbein has compiled a keepsake book that’s not just a creative gift, but also a long-lasting, distinctive remembrance.

The message is clear: Thank you for being my friend! Endearing quotes tell it all, such as:

* “Your friendship makes me feel good about myself.”

* “I love tea for two with you. Our dreams rise like steam from the teapot and make their way to the sky. Tea with you means we can dream for silly things, reminisce about happy things, or cry over sad things.”

My Sweetest Friend also includes fun recipes, such as “Mimi’s Sticky Fudge,” and lists, from “What every big girl needs………” to “I’m Sorry for………” Her beautiful, cheery illustrations perfectly accompany the uplifting writing.
