The Kite

"Who are Kwak and Jab? They are friends. True friends. They fly a kite, give each other gifts, drink tea at night... they do everything together! But whatever happens to them, no matter what twists they find themselves in, Kwak and Jab are always together. Because when you are friends, it’s not necessary to know exactly what your friend is thinking right now (""Time Alone""). It’s not scary if something doesn’t work out the first time (""The Kite""). When you are with a friend, it’s easier to redo a bunch of tasks (""Tomorrow""). With a friend, everything makes you happy – even the wrong gift (""Hat""), even a scary story (""Goosebumps""). The author of this book, Arnold Lobel, is a famous American children's writer and illustrator. He was awarded the Honor Medal of the American Library Association for the best book illustrations, and as a writer, he received the no less prestigious Newbery Medal (1973). But much more valuable than any medals is the love of several generations of readers with whom Lobel shares his warm humor and a slightly naive, childlike view of life."
