Wherever you're going, I'm going too.
Whatever you're doing, I'm sticking with you.


It's wonderful to have good friends to see you through the good times and the bad. But sometimes, friends can also be a bit . . . well . . . overbearing.

This gorgeously funny, feel-good picture book about everything that friendship can be is now available in an irresistible board book format.

'A wonderful, warm bear-hug of a story with sumptuous illustrations. A modern classic.' - Jim Field, illustrator of Oi Frog'
