Description
In this delightful companion book to the acclaimed Me and You, two friends discover the joy of togetherness.
Award-winning author-illustrator Geneviève Côté returns with another endearing story featuring two very different friends. After falling out over a spilled wagon of toys, a fussy bunny and an exuberant piggy explore all the things they can do without each other ... and gradually realize that life is much sweeter when it's shared with one another.
This gently humorous, charmingly illustrated look at the ups and downs of friendship is a book you won't want to do without.

Après avoir étudié les arts et la communication au Cégep, elle a terminé, en 1987, un baccalauréat en infographie à l'Université Concordia, à Montréal. Geneviève a illustré plus de 25 livres pour enfants. Comme auteure-illustratrice, elle a publié chez Scholastic Quel éléphant? et Je suis là, Petit Lundi.
