      abstract = {After having a fight, two friends spend the day ignoring  each other, until the lure of a game of jump rope helps  them to forget about being mad. It's the hottest, stickiest  day of the summer. A fat sun in the sky day. An eating ice  pops on the porch day. And for Kishi and Renee, it's a best  friends breakup day. Each girl sits on her own front porch,  waiting for the other to apologize, even though they know  they'll never speak to each other again, no matter how  bored they get. But then the sounds of feet slapping the  pavement and voices chanting double-dutch rhymes drift up  the avenue, and neither one can resist going out in the  street to play. This lyrical friendship story, the first  collaboration of two outstanding artists, pairs a rhythmic  text with distinctive collage illustrations. Its subtle  message about sharing and forgiveness will resonate with  anyone who has ever experienced the ups and downs of being,  and having, a best friend.},
