A tiny book with a big heart - a favourite gift for weddings, best friends and Valentines

Hospice Movement that helped launch the concept of hospice care in
America, to popular children's books such as The Thinking Book and
Turtle Time, her works have been read by millions in English and in
foreign translations. A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Sandol
Stoddard graduated magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College and
raised four sons in California before moving to Hawaii in 1983. She

JACQUELINE CHWAST illustrated over 50 books for children, including
The Perilous Pit, a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated
Children's Books of 1993.
An almost unbearably lovely vintage illustrated ode to friendship
... one of the tenderest and most touching presents I've ever
gotten, from one of my dearest friends ... love - that sweetest,
most knotless and untroubled kind - is what radiates from these
simple, surprisingly profound verse-like meditations on friendship,
illustrated with the kindred sensibility of Chwast's simple yet
richly expressive black-and-white line drawings.
