Paired with colorful and vibrant art by Lenny Wen, Old Friends is an inventive and heartfelt debut picture book that celebrates found family, caregiving, and the value of intergenerational friendships.
Marjorie wants a friend who loves the same things she does: baking shows, knitting, and gardening. So with a sprinkle of flour in her hair and a spritz of lavender perfume, Marjorie goes incognito to the local Senior Citizens Group. It all goes well until the Cha-Cha-Cha starts and her cardigan camouflage goes awry. By being true to herself, Marjorie learns that friends can be of any age if you look in the right places.
