Summary
Amy and Louis are next door neighbours and best friends who do everything together. Whenever they want to play they call 'Coo-ee' across the fence, yard or room. But one day Amy and her family move to the other side of the world and the children miss each other badly until Louis 'reconnects' with his friend through their special call. Gleeson and Blackwood deftly capture the imagination and creativity of childhood, the pain of separation and the children's hope. The appealing illustrations extend the finely crafted text by adding interesting details of the children's games and homes while highlighting the emotion of the story. This perceptive book will captivate a wide age range
