This fascinating and warm story features two boys, one black and one white. They get to know each other on the street via succinct and rhythmic dialogues, which eventually turns these two bored, shy and lonely souls into cheerful and amazing friends tentatively. Two bright images are richly and emotionally expressed in soft and wild washed background. The perfect combination of hand-lettered text, watercolor and charcoal pencil by Raschka has brought about a wonderful illustration of a story of friendship for young readers.
