Synopsis :

A heartwarming tale of love and friendship with gorgeous illustrations by the award-winning team behind The Salamander Room - in print for over 30 years!

He is a blue-bellied toad hopping aimlessly through life. She is a peach, yearning for escape and adventure. Then one remarkable day, Peach and Blue explore the pond that Blue calls home and awaken each other to a world neither has ever really seen before.  Lush illustrations by the award-winning illustrating team of The Salamander Room and The Boy on Fairfield Street perfectly complement Sarah Kilborne's graceful story about the enduring power of love.

"A romantic tale of love and friendship, set off by exquisite artwork." —Family Life

"For fanciers of old-fashioned children's books...romantic, lushly colored illustrations." —Publishers Weekly

Steve Johnson was born in White Bear Lake, Minnesota and earned a B.F.A. in illustration from the School of Associated Arts in St. Paul, Minnesota. Steve's stunning illustrations have been seen in many magazines, but it was not until Knopf asked him to illustrate No Star Nights in 1989 that he began his career as a children's book illustrator. Since then, Steve and his wife Lou Fancher has collaborated on the illustrations and design on a number of notable children's books.  They are currently among the most sought after of children's book artists. Steve and Lou fell in love with the My Many Colored Days manuscript at first sight, seeing in it an unusual opportunity to create something that is at once both childlike and sophisticated. Steve and Lou currently reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
