Cookie & Broccoli HC (2025)

The first in an early graphic novel series about outgoing Cookie and shy Broccoli as they navigate the ups and downs of starting school. New best friends Cookie and Broccoli are as different as peanut butter and cheese, but that doesn't stop them from helping each other through the first day of school! Together they find the classroom and concoct silly secret greetings. When Broccoli discovers that Cookie is also nervous to meet new classmates, the two of them come up with the perfect solution-inviting everyone to join their Shy Friends Club!

Chatty Cookie and bashful Broccoli are best buddies, even if they're as different as peanut butter and cheese! Uh-oh, but what happens when Cool Cucumber and his loyal followers put Cookie's and Broccoli's coolness to the test, and Cookie's hokey pokey dance does not impress? And worse, when Broccoli's cool math trick propels him to be the new leader of the Cool Crowd? Can their friendship withstand this popularity contest? Will Cookie and Broccoli be able to come together and define for themselves what's truly cool? Available in softcover and hardcover editions.

Shh...Cookie and Broccoli's lips are sealed! That is, until the whole school happens upon Broccoli's hiding spot and overhears his super-secret nickname-and are much more encouraging than he expected. Then, Talking Rock gives the duo a cryptic clue to solving Broccoli's boredom-the solution is the opposite of boredom. Well, the opposite of boredom is the Funnest Thing Ever, right? Cookie and Broccoli try a silly screaming contest, a bubble-blowing party, and a real-life food pyramid, but the true Funnest Thing Ever might have been in front of them all along!
