Yo! Yes? / Chris Raschka

• Orchard Books

• 1993

• 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. -- From Amazon

• Making Friends - Friends that don't look like you.

• Raschka perfectly captures the cool kid attitudes in the poses of these two boys. With barely two words per page sometimes, so much is said in just body language, punctuation and typography. I love that the boys start out on either sides of the pages and slowly inch towards each other and the gutter till they join on one page!
