USBBY2023 Outstanding International Books List

Noah and Mia have never met. They live far, far apart but look out upon the same sea.

Noah is heartbroken when his old dog Gus dies. He slips into dreams, searching for his loyal friend, but instead finds something unexpected.

Mia has no home, only her cat Olive. So when Olive sets off travelling, Mia follows her on an unexpected journey.

Will Mia and Noah find all they've dreamed of?

Poignant and uplifting, Martin Widmark's story of finding hope and a home is accompanied by stunning illustrations from Emilia Dziubak, which alternate between the two characters' interconnected journeys. Martin and Emilia are co-creators of The House of Lost and Found (also an USBBY Outstanding International Book), and of Little Pearl.
