My Friends/Mis Amigos

A little girl experiences the many gifts of friendship in this edition of the colorful children’s book presented simultaneously English and Spanish.

Vibrant illustrations and a simple, rhythmic text are perfectly blended in this spirited homage to friendship as a little girl recounts all the things she has learned from an enchanting menagerie of animal friends: “I learned to run from my friend the horse. I learned to sing from my friends the birds. I learned to read from my friends the books. And I learned to love from a friend like you. ”

The bold graphic design and brightly colored illustrations that have become the trademark of Taro Gomi’s work will appeal to both children and adults.

Praise for My Friends

“In this ode to everyday activities and things, a free-spirited girl hops, jumps and kicks her way across the countryside, paying homage to her friends along the way… . Gomi’s meticulous sense of design and careful use of brilliantly colored, highly delineated images imbues the story with a sense of the wonder and delight to be derived from life’s simplest—but bountiful—moments. ” —Publishers Weekly

“A little girl recites all the pleasurable things she has learned from her friends… . including such meaningful things as reading and studying and, most importantly, loving… . An elemental story that will reach toddlers and older preschoolers alike. ” —Booklist
