A mysterious shadow walks the corridors. It goes from room to room, and
sometimes leaves with someone in its arms, taking them to the land of
dreams. Until one day a patient at the hospital--a young child--speaks
to the shadow, offering it a drink of water. The child is fearful at
first, but as he gets to know the shadow through their conversations, he
realizes that she has feelings of her own. So begins a great friendship
between an unlikely pair: a young child, and Death.
Combining the poetic delicacy of author Gilles Tibo and the light touch
of illustrator Janice Nadeau, My Best Friend tells a deeply moving,
hopeful tale with moments that will bring a smile to readers' faces, and
a story that will lodge in the depths of the heart and remain there for
life.
