Bunny looks at Dog,  Dog looks at Bunny.  They had seen a shooting star.  But now it is gone.  A lyrical, touching, and timely picture book about finding the courage to say "I could be your friend".

★'While many stories about making friends begin with a lonely characters yearning for companionship, this picture book introduces two who are content to be alone, but find that friendship brings them great happiness. A wonderful read-aloud choice.'

Booklist (starred review)

​

'Desmond's mixed-media illustrations juxtapose simply rendered animals, charming household details, and lovely full-bleed expanses of starry sky and moonlit lake. A gentle, empathetic tribute to the value of reaching out to welcome a new friend.'

Kirkus

​

'Enchantingly fresh, this lighthearted tale of friendship deserves a place in every picture book collection.'
