“‘I like rockets.’ / ‘I like trains.’ ‘I like tractors.’ / ‘I like cranes.’” Two preschool-age children, a girl who appears white and a brown-skinned child, chronicle the things they each like in a rhyming narrative that makes clear that they not only have different tastes in many things but also a solid friendship. Watercolor, crayon, and colored pencil illustrations show the two spending time together on each page spread, their statements appearing as speech bubble dialogue. One thing they realize they do agree on: pizza! They just can’t agree on who likes it more, leading to a brief negotiation over the division of four slices near story’s end. “But even when we disagree… / I like you / and you like me.”     (Ages 3-5)

From acclaimed author Linda Ashman and illustrator Eve Coy comes this joyful picture book about making new friends and finding common ground

We’re opposites! / You’re right—we are.
Like big and small. / Like near and far.
But even when we disagree / I like you, and you like me.
 
A rhyming friendship story told in two voices, this picture book follows two children as they try to discover what they have in common, from favorite toys to shaggy dogs to pizza toppings. With its gentle message and dynamic illustrations, this sweet story is sure to resonate with young readers.
