    Rebecca Cobb

    Hardcover (Macmillan Children's Books, July 25, 2019)
    A beautifully illustrated, wittily observed picture book from the award-winning Rebecca Cobb. Hello Friend! tells the story of one relentlessly big-hearted and enthusiastic little girl who is insistent on befriending a certain little boy. And why wouldn't he want to be friends with her? She's very good at sharing - in fact, she insists on it, even if it's a sandwich that he doesn't like. And she's certain that being outside is their favourite thing to do, however reluctant he looks. But while he doesn't seem keen on many of the things that she loves to do, first impressions can be deceptive, and there is one thing he's very keen on after all . . . being friends. Also available from Rebecca Cobb: Lunchtime, Aunt Amelia and The Something.
