Bella & Bean

40 pp. | Atheneum | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-689-85616-7 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Aileen Leijten. Engrossed in writing poetry, mouse Bella peevishly turns away Bean. However, thoughts of her irrepressible pal keep creeping in. She seeks Bean out, and they write a poem together: "One blanket / holds two friends / calm and cozy..." Digitally painted graphite pencil illustrations, delicate but lively, accompany this story of how friendship can enrich creativity and vice versa.
