"Buttons" by Brock Cole tells the poignant story of a young girl who longs for a sense of belonging and her cherished relationship with her doll. Set against the backdrop of a magical, transformative summer, the girl finds solace in her imagination and the world they create together. As she navigates feelings of loneliness and the complexities of growing up, she learns about love, friendship, and the importance of remembering the past while embracing the future. Through whimsical illustrations and heartfelt prose, the narrative captures the essence of childhood wonder and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
