Friends by Michael Foreman follows the adventures of a feral cat and his fish friend named Bubble. The cat has the freedom to wander the city. He can come and go as he pleases. His friend, Bubble, doesn't have the same luxury.
Instead, Bubble is stuck in his small tank. He spends his days swimming in circles and sighing. One day, the cat gets an idea. He knows exactly how to help his friend. Now Bubble must choose between his freedom and the only friend he has ever known.
I absolutely love this book! While the text is sparse, the story definitely packs a punch. My heart ached for the cat and Bubble. They have a unique friendship that gets tested in a big way.
Foreman's illustrations are big, bold, and full of heart. I love the vibrant color palette in addition to his placement of the main characters who always remain at the center of each picture. Children will fall in love with the wide-eyed cat and multi-colored Bubble.
This is a fantastic read for children ages 4-8 and for anyone who needs a reminder of what true friendship means.
