The Friendly Four

Biographies

Harpercollins

With the summer upon them, four kids from the city find friendship in one another as the lazy days go by--learning a lot about themselves, each other, and their community in the process that will forever alter their views of the world in which they live.

To one young narrator, it's the simple things that mean the most, like sharing laughter with a friend, taking family rides in the country, and kissing her mama's arm.
When this poem was first published in 1978 in Honey, I Love and Other Love Poems, Eloise Greenfield reminded us that love can be found just about anywhere. Now, twenty-five years later, she and celebrated children's book artist Jan Spivey Gilchrist present a stunning, newly illustrated anniversary edition that invites readers to celebrate the simple joys of loving and living.
