Amy and Louis

Amy and Louis

One day Amy and her family moved a long, long way away to the other
side of the world. Louis sto pped building towers, digging holes and staring
at clouds. He no longer called to anyone across the yard, the room or the
fence.
Amy and Louis live next door to each other, and their lives are closely
intertwined. Theirs is a life rich in imagination — they see dragons in the
clouds and make castles out of cardboard. But when Amy’s family move
to another country, the children are separated and the colour drains out of
their lives — until Louis discovers how to rebuild their special bond.
This is a loving, moving, goose-bumping tale of deep friendship. The spare,
evocative text—enhanced by illustrations of rare sensitivity and insight—
strike directly at the heart.
