About This Book
This delightful picture book introduces Yelfred and Omek, two alien 'blobbies' who are the best of 'frints.' They do everything together, including having squabbles. The story centers on a major conflict when Omek takes Yelfred's new spaceship without permission and crashes it. Told with a unique, slightly altered English language, the book humorously and sweetly explores themes of friendship, anger, forgiveness, and how to repair a relationship after a big disagreement. It's perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a relatable scenario in an imaginative, otherworldly setting.
Yelfred and Omek have been best frints since they were little blobbies. They play and snack, and sometimes they even fight, all in a language similar to but slightly different from, English. When Omek decides to borrow Yelfred's new spaceship without asking (and then crashes it), it sparks the biggest fight yet. Can these two best frints make up and move on? Award-winning picture book creator Antoinette Portis delivers a new universe of cleverness and imagination in this hilarious, sweet, and otherworldly book about friendship.
