Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley

(4) K-3 Charlie is shy and thoughtful. Pearl is loud and daring. But the two different personalities balance each other out to form the perfect friendship. Clean backgrounds let the expressive portraits take center stage, giving some additional depth and charm to an otherwise trite story line. The illustrations' dark palette helps create a distinct look that, like Charlie and Pearl, is a blend of goofy and serious.
