Pip and Parker are best friends
They are always together
Like two sides of the same coin

These two besties
Remind me of my twins
Esther and William
One a worrier and
One always turning their
Best friend’s frown
Upside down

I think lots of us
Have that special
Someone we rely on
The yin to our yang

Silver Linings is a
Brilliant and beautiful book
That celebrates
The delights of friendship
The value of a special friend
The joy of a comfortable silence
And the power of positivity

Through Pip and Parker
Fiona Woodcock perfectly illustrates
The thing my own best friend tells me
Good always comes from bad
You have to search for those
Silver Linings

In this super sweet story
Best friends Pip and Parker
Are busy together
As always
Things are not going well
For Pip
But luckily Parker is there
To help her look on the bright side

A broken crayon
Means that they can both
Use the same colour
At the same time
A sweet strawberry
Dropped in lemonade
Means the friends
Drink pink lemonade
A lost toy boat
Leads to the pair
Sailing paper ships
When the wind gusts
They swap sailing
For kite flying

As the breeze
Steals blossom
From the trees
Parker shows Pip
That they can see
Through the branches
To Frank their friend
Pip struggles with
The weather
So together
The friends chase
Shapes in the clouds

Until rain falls
And the friends
Just know exactly
What to do

One of the things
I love the most
In this book
Is knowing that
When you have
A special bond
With a special someone
Silence is golden
Words are not always needed
Friends just know

Just as Parker
Knows how to
Perk up Pip
And when the time comes
Pip knows just how
To make things better
For her pal Parker
They are best friends
And when it matters most
They just know exactly
What to do

Together they always
Find their
Silver Linings

A perfect picture book
For exploring friendship
Perseverance, positivity
Kindness and hope
