Big and Little are the very best of friends. They do everything together! That is until one day, when Big suddenly hides away inside his shell . . .

Reviews
"Swales's wide-eyed figures and simple shapes recall Chris Haughton's work, with extra volume and detail."
--Publisher's Weekly "Worth lingering over."
--Kirkus Reviews "A refreshing story about friendship and the sensitive complexity of it at a level that even the youngest of children can appreciate. Sometimes what we all need is for those we love most to pause and just give us a hug for no reason in particular."
-- Wandering Bookseller "Tender and vibrant illustrations and a sweet, sweet friendship are a good start. What happens after Big hides?"
--Jileen Moore, Square Books
