Thank you Jessika von Innerebner for writing a book that so many children need. Kevin the Unicorn: Why Can’t We Be Bestie-Corns is a book that looks at friendship in a unique and funny way.

Friendship can be a difficult topic to navigate. How many times, in my time teaching and now as a parent do we navigate friendship difficulties and friendship angst. Have you ever been caught in one of those, “But you’re my best friend so you can’t be so and so’s best friend” or “Your only my third best friend” cycles. The struggle is REAL some days! We love the way Jessika von Innerebner nurtures this topic in Kevin’s story. Kevin and Eric desperately want to be bestie-corns! They try so, so hard to find things in common with hilarious results. They just cannot seem to find something they both love to do together and that is okay. There is a lovely message of not having to be best friends or bestie-corns with everyone, there is value in being friendly with our peers, even those who share different interests.

We LOVE the sparkly vibrant, hilarious illustrations. Kenvin and Eric jump right off the pages and you cannot help but feel joyful everytime you open up this book.
