Best Buds by Becky Scharnhorst

Spencer moves to a new town and instantly makes a friend and then more friends. His friends are just not the type that the adults in his life expect. Spencer’s friends are plants. The adults around him asks if he would like friends that are more human, but Spencer is content with his friends. One day while visiting his friend Eugene (an oak tree), Spencer sees someone else at the tree. Will this be another friendship for Spencer?

A sweet book about friendship and being true to yourself. The illustrations are colorful and feature diverse characters and a wide variety of plants.
