Illustrated by
Dan Santat.
Nine-year-old Bobby Ellis-Chan has been best friends with Holly since babyhood. The story of how they lose then rediscover their friendship is told here with plenty of humor. While Yee rarely deviates from Bobby's viewpoint, both boys and girls will find much to relate to. The book features Santat's frequent, amusing full-page illustrations and an invitingly spacious page layout.
