From the Waterstones prize-winner and best-selling illustrator of The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson.

It’s time to walk to school and mum wants the children to get there on time. But what Mum doesn’t realise is that the hill is in fact the tummy of a sleeping giant and it’s important to tread carefully when the floor turns to lava! It’s just as well Mum has these two Brave Explorers with her . . .

A charming, relatable and beautifully illustrated story that’s full of fun: recognisable to children and their grown-ups everywhere!

Hello Friend! tells the story of one big-hearted and enthusiastic little girl who is insistent on making friends with a certain little boy. And why wouldn’t he want to be friends with her? She’s very good at sharing – even if it’s a sandwich that he doesn’t like. And she’s certain that playing outside is their favourite thing to do, even if he is not so sure. But while he doesn’t seem keen on many of the things that she loves to do, there is one thing he’s very keen on after all . . . being friends.
