As you might have noticed, I’ve become a huge fan of Mo Willems in the last few years. I try to keep up with all of his books, which is fairly easy because he usually writes delightful picture books. (No, seriously. If you’ve haven’t read any of them yet, take five minutes to read one.) So when I heard about The Story of Diva and Flea, I knew I had to give it a try. It’s no surprise to me that I loved it.This is a bit of a departure for Mo in two ways. First, it is for a slightly older audience than his typical easy reader books. It’s almost 70 pages long and includes chapters and more words than normal. Secondly, instead of doing the illustrations himself, Mo asked his friend Tony DiTerlizzi to do them. Neither of these is a weakness in the slightest, just something worth noting.The story centers around the unlikeliest of friends, a small dog named Diva and an ally cat named Flea. Diva lives in a small Paris apartment and stands guard in the courtyard every day. However, she is very timid and runs away at everything, including approaching feet. Flea, on the other hand, spends his days exploring the city of Paris and living by his wits.One day, Flea walks outside the courtyard and sees Diva. While at first he delights in teasing her, soon he is spending his days telling Diva about all the things he’s experienced. As their friendship grows, they each impact the other in significant ways. How exactly will their lives change?While there may be some changes from Mo’s normal books, there are some similarities. We get the power of friendship and how that can change you for the better. That’s a constant theme of his Elephant and Piggie books after all.
