Buddy's New Buddy

Illustrated by Tim Bowers
The newest picture book in the New York Times bestselling Buddy series is about being yourself through-and-through while going back to school and trying to make new buddies!

After Buddy’s best friend moves away, he doesn’t know what to do: Who will he high five at school? Who will he play robo chargers with at lunch? Who will be his field trip partner?
 
Buddy feels he has nothing in common with anyone.... Until a new student shows up who might just be a buddy in the making! And best of all: Buddy can be completely himself with her.
 
This third book in New York Times bestselling author Christina Geist’s heartwarming and humorous series explores evergreen social-emotional themes like authenticity and friendship-building--right in time for back-to-school season.
