Finding Franðcois : a story about the healing power of friendship

Alice wanted a sister, or even a brother, but what she needed was a friend. And when she found him... she found so much more. In this exquisite, gently funny, and reassuring tale, the lucky and lovely friendship between Alice and Francois spans the length of the River Seine and the loss of a loved one.

Award-winning author and artist Gus Gordon captures the highs and lows of being little, and tenderly shepherds kids through the tough parts of childhood.

With charm and compassion, Finding Francois acknowledges the grief children feel, revels in life's fantastic possibilities, and celebrates the affirming, healing power of friendship.
