Even the best friendships have rough moments, but a true friend will always find a way to compromise (especially when cookies are involved!) – a scrumptious and clever read-aloud by the illustrator of Very Good Hats and Besos for Baby.

Bookie and Cookie are best friends. They love to spend time together, reading books and snacking on treats. But whenever this happens, it’s always at Cookie’s home . . . until the day when Bookie insists on getting together at his home instead. Cookie refuses: He doesn’t want to try something new. And now Bookie and Cookie are both alone, and the activities they used to enjoy together aren’t nearly as much fun. Can the two buddies each try something new for the sake of their friendship?

"It’s a gentle illustration of how close friendships can require adjustments as well as give and take." —Publishers Weekly

"Bookie and Cookie demonstrate that conflict between friends isn’t a deal breaker, but rather an opportunity to deepen a relationship and practice flexibility. Illustrations are bright and charming, crafted from a delightful array of bold shapes that add playful details to the story. The book emphasizes that understanding and compromise are essential for resolving conflicts and strengthening friendships." —Kirkus

"The text tells the characters’ stories, but there’s plenty to enjoy in the uncluttered, engaging illustrations. Created with paper collages and digital elements, they clearly depict the characters tastes and emotional states. An inviting, original picture book.—Booklist

"Gómez’s trademark illustrations and meta-textual narrative depict the individual personalities and apartments, as well as the connection between the two main characters. The book encourages readers to try new things, reflect before making decisions, and expand beyond their comfort zones sometimes—even outside the pages of the book. The bold illustrations with white backgrounds and its minimal text make this a good pick for beginning readers and an excellent read-aloud for toddler storytimes. A good purchase for picture book collections.—School Library Journal
