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. <p/>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. <p/>In this charming, thoughtful picture book, author-illustrator Andrew Arnold explores empathy and sadness, and how friends can help each other navigate big emotions. Because that's what best friends do.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>A sweet, reassuring validation of the power of a close friendship and empathy.</b> - <i>Kirkus</i>, starred review <p/><b>Profound and reassuring.</b> - <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review <p/>[What's the Matter, Marlo? is] <b>beautifully precise, and accessible</b> in its simplicity.
