Asher and the Best Friend

By Nora Lehn

Asher wants a best friend.

He's always known how to notice things - the way light moves, the way people reach toward each other, the way a room feels before anyone speaks.

But noticing isn't the same as connecting.

So Asher does something quiet and brave. He finds a plain teal journal and starts asking himself the questions he always wished someone would ask him.

What he discovers changes everything.

Painted in luminous watercolor and told with gentle wit, Asher and the Best Friend is a story about the courage it takes to know yourself - and how that's where every real friendship begins. It's the first book in the Asher Series from Different by Design Press, joining Eden and the Best Fort Ever in a world of siblings who are wired differently and loved completely.

A story for every quiet kid who notices everything - and the people who love them.
