An unexpected recipe for friendship

When Jeremy Ross moves into the neighborhood, one boy decides he is an enemy. His father offers a remedy—Enemy Pie—with an unusual instruction: the boy must spend a day with Jeremy. The story uses this premise to explore how assumptions can shape conflict, and how time together can open the way to friendship. Its focus on judgment, bullying, empathy, and making new friends gives the pie a role in a broader lesson about navigating disagreements.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring friendship and conflict
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book for conversations about empathy and bullying
  • Young readers interested in stories about making new friends
