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.
Also available from Rebecca Cobb: Lunchtime , Aunt Amelia and The Something .
