About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is navigating a friendship with a very different personality, or when they want to gently explore themes of bravery and preparation. Best friends Cornbread and Poppy are opposites: one is a meticulous planner, the other a spontaneous adventurer. When their winter food supply runs low, they must venture up a snowy mountain, a journey that tests their courage and their bond. This charming early chapter book celebrates the idea that different strengths can complement each other beautifully in a friendship. With cozy illustrations and gentle humor, it provides a perfect starting point for conversations about preparation, bravery, and how to support a friend even when you don't see eye to eye.
