When a new kid moves to town, a beautiful friendship filled with wonder and imagination blooms in this lushly illustrated, inventive, and empathetic picture book.
Between strangers and friends..."Hello."
Lean into the in-between moments in this poetic picture book that celebrates all the small steps in a budding friendship between two new friends.
Between friends and friends forever...Promises and pinky swears.
Two young kids meet for the first time and a playful friendship begins. From their backyard to the rolling hills of their neighborhood to the unlimited dreamscape of their imaginations, the two discover what it's like to connect with a true friend in real life and make-believe.
With vibrant illustrations, Between You and Me is an exploration of the big and small ways we can empathize with one another, and it's the perfect book to share, whether it be with someone you love or someone you are just getting to know. Scenes flow from realistic depictions of playing in cardboard boxes to portrayals of magical landscapes, capturing the childhood spirit of make-believe perfectly.
Raissa Figueroa lives and works in sunny San Diego, California. She's the illustrator for several other children's books, including The More the Merrier, written by David Martin. You can visit her at rizzyfig.com.
