On the Hill

Reach for this book when your child expresses a quiet longing for a best friend or feels like they are the only person who hasn't found 'their people' yet. This gentle story follows Camille and Franzi, two solitary souls living on opposite sides of a hill who spend their days engaged in creative pursuits while wishing for a companion to share them with. Through simple prose and expressive illustrations, the book validates the ache of loneliness without being heavy-handed. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the transition into social environments or who perhaps possess an artistic, contemplative nature. It serves as a comforting reminder that while we may feel alone in our longing, someone else is often standing just on the other side of the hill wishing for the exact same thing.
