DESCRIPTION
Maurice rides his bike to his shop every day. Lotta rides her bike to collect sticks every day. Both go about their separate routines, unaware of the friendship that awaits them just a few blocks away. But what happens when a branch and a lemon peel get in the way? This delightful falling-in-like story from acclaimed picture book creators Carter Higgins and Zachariah OHora celebrates the power of coincidence to lead us to the friends we're meant to meet all along.

"[This] gentle story celebrates the ways in which serendipity can lead to friendship and sharing." —Booklist
"A sweet, quiet, different take on new-friendship." —Kirkus Reviews
