Description

Feeling torn apart by the Taylor family's recent move, best friends Ashley Sanchez (Ash) and Ashlee Taylor (Lee) set out to find an activity they can enjoy together. Being so different from one another, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Ash wants to teach Lee some basketball moves, while Lee hopes to share her love of art with Ash. But sharing their hobbies doesn't go as planned, and soon Ash and Lee worry that they will never find the perfect activity for the two of them. AGES: 6-8 AUTHOR: Raised in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Michele Jakubowski has the teachers in her life to thank for her love of reading and writing. While writing has always been a passion for Michele, she believes it is the books she has read throughout the years, and the teachers who assigned them, that have made her the storyteller she is today. ILLUSTRATOR: Born in Transylvania, Heidi Fekete grew up watching and drawing her favourite cartoon characters. Each night, her mother read her beautiful bedtime stories, which made her love for storytelling grow. Heidi's love for books and animation stuck with her through the years, inspiring her to become an illustrator, digital artist, and animator.
