When a new friend named Glitter arrives in a swirl of sparkles, Glue and Glitter team up to make something completely original and help Glue shine like the star she truly is.
Karen Kilpatrick & Germán Blanco's When Glitter Met Glue spotlights art's unsung hero—a glue bottle—in a hilarious and clever story that encourages self-acceptance and spurs us all to recognize our inner shimmer. A perfect gift for teachers and the first day of school.

      Glue gains some sparkle with help from a new friend. Whether securing Popsicle sticks and pompoms or bringing art to life with googly eyes, Glue is happy to help her friends create. But because her role relegates her to the background, she feels overlooked in the colorful shadows of Pencil and the Markers. Arriving uncapped, with a plume of purple and blue sparkles swirling about, is even more noticeable Glitter. Glue, doing what she does well, offers to stick some of Glitter's sparkles down. But free-spirited Glitter is "meant to sparkle the entire world, not just one tiny spot!" A mishap might just open his mind and bring some shine to Glue's life. In this third book, Kilpatrick and Blanco tackle individuality, confidence, and friendship. Glue's contributions are vital and do not go unpraised by her friends, but she can't help but feel invisible because her work is often unseen or physically transparent. Ultimately, the team-up with Glitter permanently transforms Glue: With the gift of some of Glitter's sparkle, Glue's work is hard to miss. Blanco's mixed-media illustrations bring texture across the bright white backdrops of the pages. The minimalist art and short narrative result in a simple and cheery, if slightly didactic, message about uplifting less obvious achievements. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A light next installment featuring familiar themes. (Picture book. 3-5)
