Lauren Myracle's "Friends of a Feather" explores the complex emotions of seven-year-old Ty Perry as he navigates shifting friendships and family dynamics. When his best friend, Joseph, returns to school after a hospital stay, Ty is happy but also struggles with jealousy as Joseph gains new admirers.
