Emmett and Caleb by Karen Hottois, Illustrated by Delphine Renon Translated by Sarah Ardizzone

Join two friends as they journey through the seasons together, through birthdays and dark patches, daily chores and spontaneous treats. Although they are both quite different, Emmett and Caleb are very close friends – next door neighbours, in fact! Unsurprisingly, they spend most of the year together. Emmett wakes up bright and early, but Caleb likes to watch the stars and sleep all morning. This doesn’t stop them doing plenty together. But when friends are so close, there can often be problems with communication.

This beautiful picture book is about the many forms of friendships there are between creatures, and the many ways of expressing this friendship.
