Whats the Matter Marlo ?

What's the Matter Marlo? is a thoughtful picture book about best friends that highlights empathy, as well as anger and sadness, and explores how we can help each other face these feelings rather than ignore them.

Marlo and Coco are best friends. They do everything together―they read together, laugh together, and play games together. After all, they’re best friends. And that’s what best friends do.

But one day, when Coco asks Marlo to play, he doesn’t answer. Instead, Marlo turns away ignoring Coco, until he’s lost in his anger. Coco is worried about her friend, but then she remembers she can always find Marlo.
