A friendship begins with two words

In *Yo! Yes?*, two children meet on a street, and their brief exchange grows into a friendship. The opening words give the book its title and make conversation itself central to the encounter. Chris Raschka’s illustrations accompany a story built from very little dialogue, giving attention to the moment when strangers begin to connect. The book offers a simple starting point for talking about friendship and differences.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in stories about making friends
  • Families looking for a read-aloud with brief dialogue

Book overview

This Caldecott Honor classic is a simple yet important story about friendship.

 

Two kids meet on a street. "Yo!" says one. "Yes?" says the other. And so begins a conversation that turns strangers into friends. With vibrant illustrations, Chris Raschka's rhythmic read-aloud is a celebration of differences -- and how it just takes a few words to overcome them. More relevant than ever in our divided world, this 1993 Caldecott Award-winning classic is presented in an accessible paperback format.
