法国绘本大师——桑贝最动人的作品！

一本适合送给知心朋友的礼物书，

不管你是孩子或是成人！

马丁总是毫无理由、不挑时间的脸红。旁人会因为犯错感到羞愧而脸红的时候，他就偏偏不会脸红；而他脸红总是在意想不到的时刻。因为他这“怪毛病”，马丁渐渐地越来越孤独。直到有一天遇见了无时无刻不在打喷嚏的罗迪。

罗迪觉得红脸的马丁看起来很可爱，马丁也喜欢罗迪打喷嚏的方式！互相欣赏的两个人很快成了形影不离的好朋友。即使不玩游戏也不说话，只是静静的陪伴在对方身边，在一起时也不会觉得无聊。

但因为罗迪的突然搬家，并且留给马丁的新住址也被爸妈遗失，俩人彻底断开了联系。

时间过得飞快。在长大后的某一天，已经是成人的两个童年好友意外的重逢！他们没有因为工作太忙而减少彼此见面的机会，俩人还像小时候那样即便什么也不做，只是静静的陪伴在对方身边，在一起时也不会觉得无聊……

一个多么暖心的治愈系故事。

尽管绘者画的都是一件件小事，但你总能从中挖掘出充满情趣、耐人寻味、闪烁着智慧火花的幽默因素。而我们也许能从这本描绘了马丁从小小孩成长为大人的大厚本里明白：珍惜互相了解的朋友，就算是分别，那或许是终身友谊的开始。
