A heart-warming new tale of an unlikely friendship from the award-winning author of GOOD LITTLE WOLF and HEY, PRESTO
Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again. After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and in 2007 was accepted onto an MA course in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Her debut book Good Little Wolf received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She lives in London.
This lovely picture book about friendship is full of character and
humour. Award-winning picture book creator Nadia Shireen combines
beautifully-designed page spreads, glorious illustrations of forest
scenes, and lots of appealing animal characters. The lonely Yeti is
an especially brilliant character, and one which is certain to
capture children’s hearts.

A touching and gentle story about the value of friendship. Stunning
illustrations are full of delightful touches and I enjoyed the
elements of humour such as Bird's suitcase.

This is a touching story of an unlikely friendship that has such a
beautiful end ... that it gladdens the heart to think that even the
grumpiest of the grumps would read this and feel a little tingle of
hope that somewhere out there, there truly is a friend for
everyone.

What a delightful, warm and quirky story - just what we've come to
expect from the creator of Good Little Wolf … This is a wonderful
story about seeing beyond our differences that could get children
discussing what is important in friendship, as well as how being
excluded from groups can make them feel.
