Der kleine Biber und das Echo

Are you also looking for a friend? Amy MacDonald's charming story about the little beaver who set out to find a friend encourages all little ones. Sarah Fox-Davies has illustrated it with clear, delicate images that invite readers to join the boat of friends. The little beaver lives completely alone on the shore of a lake. He has no siblings and no friends. He is very sad and lonely. But one day, as he begins to lament, he hears someone else lamenting on the other side of the lake. Could that someone also be in need of a friend? The little beaver sets off on a quest.

Amy MacDonald earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973 and initially worked as a journalist. Little Beaver and the Echo, praised by the New York Times as one of the ten best children's books of the year and listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal, has been translated into 20 languages.

Sarah Fox-Davies has been working as a freelance illustrator since graduating from the Hornsey School of Art in 1979 and has created several popular picture books in England, such as The Tabitha Stories and Little Caribou.
