Synopsis
&“A fun story of two bicycle enthusiasts who accidentally meet and develop a friendship . . . Full of musings about potential that can be inspiring.&” —School Library Journal Maurice rides his bike to his shop every day. Lotta rides her bike to collect sticks every day. Both go about their separate routines, unaware of the friendship that awaits them just a few blocks away. But what happens when a branch and a lemon peel get in the way? This delightful falling-in-like story from acclaimed picture book creators Carter Higgins and Zachariah OHora celebrates the power of coincidence to lead us to the friends we're meant to meet all along. &“A fun, clever book about two bike-loving animals who take different paths to work every day . . . Carter Higgins&’ writing is spot on, and Zachariah OHora&’s bold and colorful illustrations are fun and inviting.&” —Book Riot &“[This] gentle story celebrates the ways in which serendipity can lead to friendship and sharing.&” —Booklist &“A sweet, quiet, different take on the familiar new-friendship trope . . . Readers will meet endearing new pals.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“This quirky anticonsumerist fable imagines a town in which uses can be found for the things most people abandon, small enterprises flourish, and communal kindness makes life rich.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Maurice and Lotta&’s tale keeps the reader guessing, and the meet-cute ending is satisfying. OHora&’s art is as fresh and funny as ever.&” —The Little Crooked Cottage
