Tom and Momo both recently moved to the same apartment building, but they have not met. Though they each long for a new friend to play with, they are never in the same place at the same time. Tom is on the bus as Momo rides by on a bicycle. Tom's family has just arrived at the restaurant as Momo's is leaving after finishing their meal.

But then, on Christmas Eve, Tom notices a girl wearing yellow, just like him, while waiting in line to buy a Christmas cake. Later, Momo notices a boy wearing yellow, just like her. Will this be the day the two finally meet?

This heartwarming picture book perfectly captures the joy of making a new friend. Children will be delighted as the anticipation builds with each turn of the page, hoping that the two will find each other at last! Fans of Akiko Miyakoshi - whose books have twice been named best illustrated books of the year by The New York Times/New York Public Library - will enjoy settling in with this cozy, atmospheric story. With its Christmastime setting and charming narrative, it's sure to become a holiday classic!
