Synopsis

Wednesday is a sweet story about two best friends, Little Round and Big Square. But it's also about what it is to really play imaginatively with another. Every Wednesday, our two friends get together to play. Sometimes they have some tough moments, like all true friends, but they mostly have the best time that two friends can ever have together! Illustrated in a strong, two-color graphic style, Wednesday has strong appeal for the youngest readers as well as for parents and teachers.

Anne Bertier has been writing and illustrating children's books since 1995. She studied literature while attending mime courses at the Sylvia Monfort School. Her particular interests in creating art are composition and balance.

Reviews

PreS-Gr 2—Bertier artfully employs simple geometric shapes to explore the ups and downs of friendship. Little Round (orange) and Big Square (blue) play together each Wednesday. At first they transform themselves into variations of a theme such as butterfly or flower. Soon, however, Big Square starts showing off by creating complex patterns that Little Round can't produce. After a brief time apart, they decide they can cooperate to create patterns that offer even more surprises and fun. Together they create animals, people, ice-cream treats, and strange designs. Bertier's ability to combine various shapes with simple text to convey emotions will resonate with young listeners who have experienced similar situations with playmates. The orange and blue patterns on cream backgrounds will please viewers and likely encourage some exploratory art using cut-paper shapes. This well-designed and thoughtful book should find a home in most collections.—Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University Library, Mankato
