Join us for a heartwarming and pun-filled storytime as we read Stick and Stone: Best Friends Forever! written by Beth Ferry and illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld.
Stick and Stone are the best of friends, but when Stick searches for his family tree, he gets lost in the deep, dark woods. Alone and afraid, he realizes that even the bravest sticks need a solid rock to lean on. Stone doesn’t hesitate to head out on a rescue mission, proving that friendship isn’t just about having fun—it’s about being there when things get tough.
