I find it helps to narrow a Google search to one specific website with details book descriptions, for example:
site:goodreads.com keywords...
site:amazon.com keywords...
site:kirkusreviews.com keywords...
(etc.)
Children's picture book: Boy and girl with same name meet at school, where they both think the desk (labeled with their name) is theirs. They become really good friends and do everything together. I think they lived in a mountain town. Eventually one moves away and I think wrote a letter to the other to explain and give contact info, but it went lost. The friend moved far away (maybe to Africa?) and had amazing experiences but was always thinking of his or her friend. Years later, that character comes back to town during the town annual summer celebration. They were both chasing fireflies and ran into each other, and immediately reconnected and rekindled their friendship. I vaguely remember something about them either having a secret language or just a few words that meant something special to them, but I'm not sure about that. It's been so long!
Thank you for helping me!
