The best friendship since sliced bread!

Once upon a kitchen, the Fridgers chilled on one side.
The Cupboard Crew loafed about on the other.

The kitchen may look like a peaceful place, but there was never more division than between the Fridgers and the Cupboard Crew. The Fridgers could be a little too cool. The Cupboard Crew—well, they often got stale. It was clear that the two should never mix. But that was until Peanut Butter (PB, for short) met Jelly. When Jelly finds herself in a sticky situation, it's Peanut Butter to the rescue. And the result is the best friendship since sliced bread.

When PB Met J is the deliciously funny origin story of every child's favorite lunch. Readers will cheer that these sweet and salty characters should always stick together.

Katelyn Aronson is the author of Piglette's Perfect Surprise. She worked as a children's bookseller in California until she was called abroad to Europe. She now teaches in Switzerland and lives in France, where no one eats peanut butter except for her! Please visit katelynaronson.com.

Sarah Rebar is the illustrator behind the bestselling Waffles & Mochi, which is now a series on Netflix. She lives in sunny Los Angeles, where she enjoys lots of PB&J sandwiches, especially with smooth peanut butter. Please visit sarahrebar.com.
