Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2009
Hardcover, 32 pages, $16.95

In June and August, a misunderstanding leads to the humorous but pivotal moment, bringing together two very unlikely friends. One night in the jungle, June is thrilled to see a shooting star while August loves looking at the moon. Although they can't see each other in the dark, the two promise to meet again the next day. But when morning dawns, they face a dilemma. How are they going to recognize each other? This imaginative story, illustrated by Adam McCauley (Illustration faculty), explores the concept that the greatest friendships can come to be if you are willing to overlook differences. Vivian Walsh is the co-creator of several best-selling books for children.
