Did someone say BOOK BIRTHDAY?
Today, we're getting our inner kitty-corn on as we join the BOOK-abration for the latest release in the ADORABLE and GLITTERASTIC series starring Kitty-Corn! It's been building a name for itself between the adorable illustrations, brilliant color palette, and tales of true friendship...a reputation that is totally deserved and added to with this release as we find out that three is most certainly not a crowd. So, if you're ready...because I KNOW YOU ARE...let's get between the pages of today's BOOK BIRTHDAY celebrant via Abrams Books for Young Readers...

There's a party going on, or rather being planned, and while these TWO besties have things under wraps, there's a new four legged fur kid in town that wants in on the action! With his adorable ARF at practically everything, and innocent cluelessness, you can't help but be drawn to the little guy, and yet some aren't taking the intrusion as kindly. Some are feeling left out, pushed aside, and no longer in the spotlight. Some are letting the green-eyed monster rule their hearts, and when it unleashes its fury, well...there is a moment of relief, a moment of regret, and then a moment of forgiveness and understanding. Unicorn helps Kitty-Corn understand that just because someone new joins their duo, she isn't any less important, any less special, any less LOVED than before...and that's a lesson well worth learning.
I've loved this series from the start, and they simply keep the love rolling! I adore the characters and the brilliant illustrations. I cherish the messages shared in laugher, story lines, and images. I am thankful that kiddos of all ages have stories like this to help make those bumps in growing up a little less high, and those lows a little less low. A great addition to the series, and a great way to help little ones grow their circle of friends without losing themselves or their initial connections in the process.

About the authors...
LeUyen Pham and Shannon Hale are the team behind the bestselling picture book Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn, the bestselling graphic novels Real Friends, Best Friends, and Friends Forever, and, with Dean Hale, the early chapter book series The Princess in Black. They’ve made a bunch of other books, too. They are both: moms of kids who aren’t afraid to get messy, wives to husbands who make art, Honor award winners (Caldecott and Newbery), caretakers of cats, and believers in unicorns. LeUyen lives in Los Angeles, Shannon lives in Utah, and with each other, they know they can be—and make—anything.
