Synopsis

You and Me is a loving tribute to how fate brought together two best friends forever. An adorable cat muses about the what-ifs in life: What if he had slept late that one special morning? What if he’d missed his train on that fateful day? Then he might never have met his favorite person in the world, and his entire life would be different!
Two friends delight in the incredible power of serendipity in this charming tale. Illustrated by the bestselling Peter H. Reynolds, You and Me is the ultimate gift for the closest of friends on Valentine’s Day or any day of the year.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1—This tale of feline friendship opens as a skimmer hat is floating in the breeze. A pondering cat reflects on the past and what led to the lucky day on which two furry friends crossed paths. Listing the countless "what ifs," the story unfolds to reveal a chance meeting where the charming pair become one. Verde's rhythmic text floats by in a breathtaking manner, ("Whatever it was that brought us together...That pull, that tug, that mysterious tether"), complementing this heartfelt story of destiny. Reynolds's characteristic illustrations provide a delicate and buoyant representation of the joys of friendship. The artist carefully renders the two felines in a combination of ink, gouache, watercolor, and tea. This title is a wonderful introduction to the concept of serendipity and the magic of true friendship.—Claire Moore, Darien Library, CT
