Sometimes the unlikeliest friends form the greatest friendships. A funny, charming picture book from a dynamic duo.

Sometimes the unlikeliest friends form the greatest friendships. A funny, charming picture book from a dynamic duo.

Friends Yak and Dove are complete opposites. Yak is large and Dove is small. Yak has fur and Dove has feathers. Yak is polite. Dove is ill-mannered. Yak likes quiet. Dove likes noise. One day as Yak and Dove list their differences they come to the conclusion that maybe they aren't meant to be friends. In the hope of finding a new best friend, Yak holds auditions. But when a small feathered contestant sings Yak's favorite song, the two begin to think that maybe they are alike after all . . .

Yak and Dove whimsically captures the highs and lows of friendship through the three interconnected tales of two very different friends.

Praise for Yak and Dove

PRAISE FOR Julia, Child by Kyo Maclear, illustrated by Julie Morstad:

"Julie Morstad can do no wrong, and mixed with Maclear's musings on who these women might have been as girls, Julia, Child cooks up some real magic." --Huffington Post, 20 New Classics Every Child Should Own

PRAISE FOR The Liszts by Kyo Maclear, illustrated by Julia Sardà:

"Simply enchanting in all its quirks." --Kirkus Reviews

"Sardà's stylish spreads carry a whiff of Wes Anderson, with dark woodwork and dark humor, too." --Publishers Weekly

PRAISE FOR Ooko by Esmé Shapiro:

"Playful, joyous and hip." --Kirkus Reviews

"The message about being true to oneself isn't delivered so much by the text as it is by Shapiro's inimitably daffy world." --Publishers Weekly
