Review

Kate DiCamillo had the idea. A small circle, then a large circle high above. A call and response. Jaime Kim took that idea and made the small circle a small girl, sad, lonely, looking for a friend. She leaves everything safe and certain to find someone to connect with.But how does one do that- sing! With Kate's text, simply "la la la," the reader, through Kim's simple, soft yet expressive illustrations of watercolor and ink follows along on the journey to find a friend. The reader and the listener need to take time to really take in the story and enjoy the journey.

Overall Book Score: excellent
