    Conceived by two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and featuring enchanting illustrations by Jaime Kim, this nearly wordless story, now in a board book edition, follows a little girl in search of a friend.

    Kate DiCamillo conveys a lonely child’s yearning for someone who understands, while Jaime Kim brings to life an endearing character and a landscape that invite readers along on the journey. A little girl stands alone and sings, but hears no response. Gathering her courage and her curiosity, she skips farther out into the world, singing more insistently, as day passes into night, as she climbs toward the light of the moon. Dejected, she falls asleep on the ground, only to be awakened by an amazing sound . . . Has she been heard, at last?
    Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which received the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; and THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. She says, "Mercy Watson had been in my head for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to tell her story. One day, my friend Alison was going on and on and on about the many virtues of toast. As I listened to her, I could see Mercy nodding in emphatic agreement. Sometimes you don't truly understand a character until you know what she loves above all else." View titles by Kate DiCamillo
