Publisher's Synopsis
On opposite sides of a quiet street lived two friends. From morning to evening, they played. 'You two are stuck together like glue!' their parents and teachers laughed. So it was a shock when, one day, they had to stop and go inside. Between them now was only space. Suddenly, outside was scary and felt very large. Their parents were full of whispers and frowns and the worry inside felt heavy. Where can you put friendship when friends are apart? Slowly, they learned. They found that, across the street and through windows, they could give each other a hug. They discovered that a smile is a hug. A wave is a hug. And funny faces, a phone call, a song. They discovered that when you're apart a friendship doesn't leave. With time and effort it will grow and grow, until it is big, bigger than all fears.
