Something for You

A touching picture book about lending a hand and the gift of friendship.

A touching picture book about lending a hand and the gift of friendship, from debut author-illustrator Charlie Mylie, whom Brian Selznick has heralded as “a major new talent in children's books.”When a field mouse discovers that his friend is sick with a cold, he's determined to make her feel better. He fluffs her pillows, opens her windows, brews tea, and promises to return with something to help. What can he give her? What if he returns empty-handed? But in the end, maybe the best gift he has to give isn't anything he can hold at all - maybe it's the friendship, love, and care he's carried all along. With charming and expressive characters, sweeping images, and spare text, Something for You is a touching story of the comforts that friendship and affection can bring.
