A joyful look at the friendships we make and how to nurture them from award-winning author Zanni Louise and illustrator Nicky Johnston

Friends can come from anywhere! From school, the park, the shopping square.
A bookstore, circus, from the zoo ...
But how will we know what to do?

How do we find friends, make friends or be a friend? Zanni Louise and Nicky Johnston weave a story of building friendship and community through kindness, inclusion and imagination in this delightful journey through a day of meeting, greeting, laughing and playing together.

A perfect gift for every child, whether moving to a new neighbourhood, starting school, or starting a new class.
