Max only had one friend.
Max’s friend was called George.
George lived in windows.
Max is lucky to have a friend like George. George loves to do everything Max does. He also knows what it feels like to be Max…
This picture book is about friendship. Anxiety. Your shadow. Starting school. And feeling alone.
It’s a wonderful tale for children, with a gorgeous message. A book about starting fresh, meeting new people, and learning how to deal with a lump in the throat.
The gorgeous, whimsical illustrations by Sue deGennaro perfectly compliment the story and Cori Brooke’s words hit the spot. Every page is a new discovery. Read it to kids before they start school. Read it to them when they’re at school. It’ll never get old.
Max & George by Cori Brooke and Sue deGennaro, Viking, RRP $24.99, is out now.
