About this product
Product Information
"If I call Amy really loudly, she'll hear me, won't she?" Louie asked his mom. His mom shook her head. "Amy is half a world away." Amy and Louie are the best of friends. They build towers as high as the sky, they look for magical creatures in clouds, and they always greet one another with their special call: "Coo-ee!" But when Amy's family moves far across the ocean, the color drains out of their lives---until Louie finds a way to restore their special bond. A perfect book for any friends separated by a move, this is the unforgettable story of a friendship lost and found.

Booklist Starred Review Best friends Amy and Louie are never far apart. From across the room or the playground, they call to each other with a special word: "Cooo-ee!" Then Amy's family moves "half a world away," and the children long for each other. "If I call Amy really loudly, she'll hear me, won't she?" Louie asks. Only his grandmother is encouraging: "You can only try." Louie belts out his loudest "Cooo-ee!" and across the ocean, half a day later, Amy happily declares, "I dreamt about Louie and he called me." In rhythmic, pared-down words, Gleeson captures friendship's intensity from a young child's viewpoint. In simplest terms, she also communicates the sometimes tough-to-grasp concept of global distance: "When you are awake in the day, [Amy] is asleep at night." Blackwood's tender, realistic watercolors reinforce the friends' sweet closeness and magic, particularly in the few wordless spreads that skillfully shift perspective from aerial views of Louie's seaside village to seahorse-shaped clouds, which race across the world. Subtle, direct, and profound, this quiet story communicates the deep joy and unbreakable bonds that true friends share, and it will reassure little ones who know firsthand the aching sadness that separation brings., Booklist Starred Review Best friends Amy and Louie are never far apart.
