Finding François: A Story about the Healing Power… af Gus Gordon
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
This review originally found at The Children's Book and Media Review
Herman Schubert and Rosie Bloom live in a very busy city in two very small apartments. Herman plays the oboe and likes watching films about the ocean. Rosie likes to sing and watch films about the ocean. They both like living in the big city, but sometimes it can be a lonely place to be by themselves. Although Herman occasionally plays oboe and Rosie hears it, and sometimes Rosie sings and Herman hears it, they never meet. One day Rosie is told that she can’t sing in the club anymore and Herman loses his job. Both are sad and stop playing music. However, when they finally meet for the first time, the city is never quite the same again.
This book’s ability to capture both loneliness and friendship in its city setting is a treat. The illustrations capture the busy city life of New York with liveliness and noise, but also the idea and feeling of solitude and loneliness. Tiny details of the illustration add depth to the characters and the story. The mixed media nature of the illustrations create a modern but fun feeling. Readers will cheer and sigh as they wait for Herman and Rosie to meet and be able to share their hobbies with each other.… (mere)

Alice loves living with her grandmother, but sometimes she longed for someone her own age. One day she had the idea to put a message in a bottle and send it out to sea. Would anyone find it?
This book is recommended as a read aloud for ages 5-7. The author inspires the reader to think more about friendships and relationships. The book also introduces some French language.
