Half a World Away

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Freya Blackwood. When Amy wants to play with her best friend, Louie, she calls out their special word--"Coo-ee"--and Louie calls Amy the same way. When Amy's family moves, the two are miserable until they figure out how to communicate "half a world away." Blackwood's atmospheric illustrations are a good match for the mood of the story.
