A satisfying story of rediscovering friendship after time spent apart.

For many years, Hazel and Mabel were inseparable. The two friends made up stories, spent the night together, and shared their snacks. Then, Mabel moved away. As time passes, Hazel and Mabel think of each other often, but they also make new friends and try new activities. When Mabel returns for a visit, Hazel is thrilled. They will pick up right where they left off... won't they? They take turns suggesting activities - cartwheels, skipping stones, tossing a ball - but nothing works for both of them. Just when they think they have nothing in common anymore, both friends rediscover their love of imagination and stories.

This sweet story pairs lyrical text with charming illustrations in a unique look at what happens long after a friend moves away. Perfect for families, classrooms, and school counselors, this lovely story explores the challenges - and rewards - of long-distance and lasting friendships.
