Louise (Louise Loves Art) is thrilled to discover her new neighbor, Andie, shares her affinity for art until artistic differences test the new friendship. The observational humor in Light's pencil and digital illustrations complements this congenial tale of collaboration. The background antics and character expressions (unnoticed by Louise) of Louise's brother and the girls' pets, are sure to delight readers.

Distracted by her art-show preparations, Louise fails to notice her cat's humorously exasperated warnings that Art, her little brother, is drawing over and cutting up her "masterpieces." Louise's initial horror subsides into art appreciation as she hangs Art's remastered work in "The Gallery du Fridge." Reminiscent of Falconer's Olivia books in palette and layout, Light's nimble illustrations playfully draw readers across the page.
