Paper Planes by Jim Helmore and Richard Jones.
Mia and Ben are two friends who enjoy making paper planes together. They dream that one day they will make a plane that will fly over the lake, but one day Ben and his family move house far away.
Yes this bitter sweet tale is designed to tug at the heart strings, which it does effortlessly. It does though have some magical and happy moments and finished nicely.
The wonderful chalky style of the illustrations add to the mood and help draw you into this story of childhood friendship.
A lovely and very moving story.
