Herman & Rosie

Herman and Rosie is a gorgeous picture book by Gus Gordon is a story about friendship, life in the big city, and following your dreams.

Set in New York City, Herman and Rosie live in adjacent buildings, but they do not know each other. They share a love of music and underwater shows. After life throws some obstacles in their way, the two meet and the big, sometimes lonely city, is never the same again.

It's a tale of hotdogs and music and the summertime subway breeze.

It's a tale of singing on rooftops and toffees that stick to your teeth.

But most of all, it's the tale of Herman and Rosie.
