Hello, friend!

A warm and sociable little girl describes how much she enjoys the company of a boy in her class at school. However, the pictures reveal him to be reserved and reluctant to join in and play despite her enthusiasm. Gradually he overcomes his anxieties and their continuing friendship seems assured, enabling them both to extend this to another child who seems lonely and left out. Rebecca Cobb’s illustrations invite reading against the text to appreciate the full meaning of this delightful story about friendship and understanding others.
