Sometimes, best friends forever isn't always FOREVER.
Learning that truth is a slow, sometimes painful, journey for Sophia. The moment she met Aaliyah, the two became BFFs and Sophia believed they would always be besties. The pair ate lunch together every day, they laughed at the same jokes, loved the same games and shared the same Hollywood dreams. They were inseparable]€] until they weren't.
To Sophia's shock, Aaliyah began to hang out with someone new at recess. She didn't ask Sophia to join them, and Sophia was too scared to invite herself along. Then Aaliyah brought this new friend to the lunch table, and Sophia knew she had to share her bestie. Her heart sank.
Sophia was angry, jealous and confused. She felt as though she had been cruelly dumped. Aaliyah was always supposed to have her back, and now she had betrayed their friendship. Or did she? Was there really something so awful about making a new friend? And why couldn't Sophia make new friends, too?
I Lost My BFF is a chapter book that paints a vivid picture of childhood friendship, including its thrills and disappointments, and offers hope to anyone feeling lost when a friendship inevitably changes.

Schweitzer Classification
Jennifer is an award-winning children's book author who has worked as a school counselor for over a decade. She loves writing social and emotional books to help children and preteens through challenging times. Jennifer's books teach children strategies to work through their issue, and the stories give children the comfort of knowing they're not alone in their struggles. Her books focus on topics such as anxiety, depression, and friendship struggles. Jennifer's books use a quick-read chapter format and are geared toward children ages 9 to 13.
Through working with children of all ages, Jennifer has seen the benefits of social-emotional learning books firsthand. Children lose themselves as they're immersed within the stories. They're able to understand complex issues from so many different perspectives by seeing the story through the eyes of the characters.
Counseling children, as well as raising two children of her own, has taught her a universal truth: all children want to be loved, valued, and respected for the unique individuals they are. She channels this truth, the importance of providing support to children as they navigate social and emotional issues, and her love for creativity into all her children's books. Her goal is that all children who read one of her books will feel like the stories are speaking directly to them.
