Description:

Celebrated Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor winning author, Dinah Johnson (H is for Harlem), and debut artist, Kayla Mahaffey, present a joyful, empathetic and gorgeously illustrated ode about the power of connecting with someone face to face.

What happens when you come face to face with someone new?

Do you wonder what they're thinking? Maybe they're worried. Maybe they're daydreaming.

Maybe they're a new friend just waiting to be made...
