It’s fitting to end this week of posts with books that feature a friendship. We all need friends in this world and these are some of my favorites.

1. Hilo series by Judd Winick: When an alien kids come down to earth, friends rally around Hilo and welcome him into their circle.
2. Laid Back Camp manga series by Afro: Camping buddies.
3. Heavy Vinyl comic series by Carly Usdin illustrated by Nina Vakueva: Girl power friendship set among the backdrop of a 90s record store but they have a secret about what else they do.
4. A Place at the Table by Saadia Faruqi and Laura Shovan: Differences become shared experiences.
5. Cornbread & Poppy series by Matthew Cordell: Opposites attract.
6. Simon Sort of Says by Erin Bow: Friends are there when you need them the most, especially for comic relief.

My wish is that you enjoyed the collection of lists over the past month to find and use in your own classrooms, libraries, personal collections, and TBR piles. Happy summer!
