But when the bright flash of a meteor lights up the sky, the world around them begins to change.

So the dinosaur and the bird make a new wish: for life to continue. Because hope holds on with a friend by your side.

From award-winning author Richard Ho and rising star illustrator Jamie Green, comes a gorgeous and heartrending picture book about friendship, loss, and the beauty of an everlasting bond.
