Stick and Stone: Best Friends Forever!

Beth Ferry lives by the beach in New Jersey where she loves scanning the shore for sea glass. In addition to sea glass, Beth has found countless shells, mermaid purses, and a few sand dollars. She often finds tennis balls and brings them home to the delight of her two bulldogs. Through the years, Beth has also picked up boatloads of trash. She is the author of many picture books including Stick and Stone, The Scarecrow, and The Peddler of Puddles. Sea Glass Girls is her first novel in verse.

"This sweetly adorable story, expressed textually through simple, jaunty verse, conveys the reassuring message that family and true friends always (ahem) stick by you when you need them. Kids won’t be stone faced and will definitely stick with this delightful story about friendship."  — Kirkus Reviews"A sequel to Stick and Stone (2014), this story begins with curiosity, leads to adventure, and ends (like so many road trips) with a character gaining a new perspective on what really matters. ?Excellent for reading aloud, Ferry's light-verse text will engage and amuse young children, while Lichtenheld's pleasing illustrations feature rounded forms, harmonious colors, and lively, lovable characters. A rewarding picture book."  — Booklist
