When Nico and his family move far away for a little while, Maia is left with a hole in her life that she thinks will never be filled. Eventually, though, she meets a furry companion, makes a new friend and even discovers a new passion. Her life feels full once again. When it's finally time for Nico to return, Maia worries --- does she still have enough room in her life for her old friend?This heartfelt story explores complex childhood emotions: the sadness of loneliness, the uncertainty of the unknown and the joy of new experiences. A tender tale about a deeply felt friendship, Life Without Nico will win over readers of all ages. - Grand Central Pub
Maia and Nico are best friends. They never get tired of playing together. Unexpectedly, though, Nico and his family have to move far away for a while. Maia is devastated. âNow time passes slowly, and the emptiness is with Maia everywhere she goes.â She makes her way through the dark days, bored and alone. But, slowly, things begin to change, and â... Maia meets an unexpected companion ... She makes a new friend ... She even discovers a new passion.â Her life has become so happy and full, in fact, that she worries there will no longer be enough room for Nico. Of course, when he returns, she discovers there is. As Maia learns, âThere is always space in your heart for friendship.âThis poetic, touching picture book written by Andrea Maturana is sure to move readers of any age. It sensitively explores a child's capacity for friendship and the range of feelings experienced while trying to cope with loss. Losing a friend is a common childhood experience, and this book would offer a perfect opportunity for a classroom discussion on this or any kind of loss. It speaks to the resilience of children as well, and the experience of growing up and discovering that welcoming new things and people into your life doesn't mean losing the old. The sweet artwork by Francisco Javier Olea uses warm, muted colors that reinforce the reassuring tone of the story, as well as magical imagery that enhances its emotional depth. - Univ of Toronto Pr
