FOREVER FRIENDS by Carin Berger
Forever Friends is a sweet simple story of a friendship that is strong enough to last throughout the seasons, and one that is only made stronger by separation. The small blue bird sings "come play with me" to the little brown bunny. The bunny happily agrees and they become fast friends - until cold weather approaches and the bird must fly south for the winter. The bunny, along with young readers, learns that those who must leave us can return. Award-winning author/illustrator Berger uses catalogs, old books, receipts, letters, and ticket stubs to create her elegant collage illustrations. She has taken what would normally be thrown away as trash and uses it to create the impressive artwork that brings her reassuring tale to life. Find this charming picture book at E BER.
