Butternut is excited that the Spring Plant Show has come to the supermarket where he lives. It’s being performed outside and features the “Flying Butter’, but poor Butternut is terrified of the sliding glass doors! With some help from his many friends, Blueberries, Star fruit, Dragon fruit, and Buttercup, they devise a plan to get through the doors together so no one gets squashed. The illustrations by Anusha Santosh are bright and colorful, and the art embraces a decorative design aesthetic that is perfect for this story. 

The imaginative storytelling of all these friends who are so different from each…

From Carolyn's list on unlikely friendships for small children.
