內容簡介

內容簡介 友誼能幫助你重拾希望與力量 小豬Alice和奶奶一起生活，雖然和奶奶在一起的時光都很開心，但Alice還是很希望自己能有個兄弟姊妹。於是，Alice寫了一封關於自己的瓶中信，將瓶中信放在河裡，流到大海，最後被狗狗François撿起來，而François正是Alice滿心期盼的好朋友！ 於是，François和Alice開始透過瓶中信的方式通信，但某一天，Alice的生活起了大變化，使得她無法再和François通信了！這段友誼還能持續下去嗎？ 《喬治不能說的秘密》作者Gus Gordan新作，以明亮清新的插圖，濃濃的法國風情，與你一同體會友情的美好。 For fans of A Sick Day for Amos McGee and In a Jar comes a tender and gently adventurous gem about the power of friends to soothe aches big and small. Alice, a little piglet, loves life with her grandmother, making lists and crème brûlée, organizing buttons, and taking walks. Still, Alice wishes she had a sister--or even a brother. So, she does the sensible thing: She writes a note ("Hello! I am Alice."), tucks it into a bottle, and tosses it into the river, where it drifts out to sea, is captured by an octopus, picked up by a seagull, and arrives at a faraway lighthouse. There, François, a little dog, lives with his dad. François is everything Alice could wish for in a friend, and soon the seas are busy with their bottled correspondence. But when a big change comes, and Alice can't bring herself to write François more letters, will the simple comforts of time, love, and friendship restore the light to Alice's life? In this marvelous, gently funny and reassuring tale, the lucky and lovely friendship between Alice and François 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 on a journey full of fantastic possibilities, friendship, and healing. * "Reminiscent of William Steig...Will warm hearts and minds with each reading." --Kirkus (starred review) * "Endearing...Expressive...Intriguing...Heartening...Memorable" --Booklist (starred review) "Triumphant...Gentle tongue-in-cheek humor [amid a] central theme of enduring love." --PW "Charming...[A] soothing, kid-friendly approach to life after loss." --SLJ "Earnest and playful...tender and inviting." --The Horn Book
