Bringing new life to the lyrics of the Beatles classic, Henry Cole reimagines the song as the story of two girls, both of them new kids at school and feeling lonely on the playground and in the lunchroom. Through the fun of playing music together, they form a devoted friendship—but will it endure when one of them moves out of the neighborhood? Cole's illustrations begin with superb crosshatched drawings, then he adds washes of primary colors that underscore the poignancy of his scenes.
