Two friends met when they were very young. Building creative worlds fueled by their imaginations, as the years go on, each creation becomes bigger and more elaborate. Most of them end with some kind of crash. They come together after each crash - until one day they both wonder if the crash was so big that they can't go on together. 

Le and Santat share a sweet message about what can keep friendships together, even when times are difficult. Make sure you peek under the cover for the pretty case wrap illustrations. The boys are Asian.
