Friends by Mies Van Hout
Happy was an international hit that showed off Mies van Hout's uncanny ability to convey feelings with her vibrant illustrations.With Friends she goes one step further and shows emotional interactions. Just as she made the fish of Happy uniquely hers, here she uses monsters to show different situations--they cuddle, laugh, play, but they also fight, tease and more--making the images recognizable for little monsters of all ages.Praise for Friends
“Van Hout expertly conveys the emotional peaks and valleys of each friendship”—Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
“[V]an Hout captures the landscape of friendship for toddlers through teens and beyond...Like the earlier Happy (2012), this conveys emotional heft and arresting images in an appealing, child-size package.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Colorful childlike drawings...cleverly explore playfulness, boredom, teasing, fighting, making up, cuddling, and so on...This book has a lot of child appeal, and no doubt youngsters will choose a favorite monster they can relate to. This short book will pair well in storytimes with other picture books about friendship.”—School Library Journal
“Quite fabulous!”—Youth Services Book Review *Starred Review*
“A perfect gift...for a little one interested in expanding vocabulary and keen to talk about emotions felt when dealing with friends.”—Sal's Fiction Addiction
