My Best Friend
My Best Friend
Age range 6 to 9
A mysterious shadow walks the corridors. It goes from room to room, and sometimes leaves with someone in its arms, taking them to the land of dreams. Until one day a patient at the hospital a little boy speaks to the shadow, offering it a drink of water. The boy is fearful at first, but as he gets to know the shadow through their conversations, he realizes that she has feelings of her own. So begins a great friendship between an unlikely pair: a little boy, and Death. Combining the poetic delicacy of author Gilles Tibo and the light touch of illustrator Janice Nadeau, My Best Friend tells a deeply moving, hopeful tale with moments that will bring a smile to readers’ faces, and a story that will lodge in the depths of the heart and remain there for life.
