About this listen

From the creator of the all-time classic Very Hungry Caterpillar comes a sweetly resonant story about the power of friendship.

When a best friend moves away, it can be painful for the child who is left behind. But the spunky boy in this upbeat story makes up his mind to find his missing playmate. Listeners will cheer on the boy as he braves currents, climbs mountains, and dashes through rain before, finally, reuniting with his friend. A story alive with love and perseverance, brightened with Eric Carle's trademark fostering of imagination.

This deeply personal story for Eric is dedicated to his longtime wife, Bobbie, and it is their bond that inspired the book. For anyone who has ever scaled mountains to be with the one he loves, or for anyone who has simply known the love and joy of a great friendship, this book will strike a resonant chord.

Cute, loving story!

The story is so relatable! The narrator gave great expression to the tale. I felt happy after listening to this story and think young children will love it! Can't wait to share it with my grandchildren and have lots of discussion about friends!
