Mer information

Karl Newson (Author) Karl Newson is the award-winning author of children's books including How to Mend a Friend, The Same but Different Too, I am a Tiger and I Really, Really Need a Wee. He spends his days scribbling story ideas in his notebook or searching for them in the great big world outdoors. Karl was inspired to write his first picture book when his children were small and he's been writing stories ever since... His stories have been shortlisted for numerous children's books awards and are translated in over 20 languages around the world. When he isn't writing or drawing, he dreams of castles made of books and of rocketing to the moon to watch the world go by. Karl lives in London, with his partner and a forest of pot plants.Clara Anganuzzi (Illustrator) Clara would draw on every surface she could find (including some very unhappy tortoises) whilst growing up in the Seychelles. She has always had a fond love for animals and creating characters with subtle gentle humour. Using a mixture of traditional techniques, ranging from monoprinting to pencil marks, Clara enjoys creating narrative images and a sense of place in limited colour palettes. After studying BA illustration at Falmouth University, she went on to complete a MA Children's Illustration course at Anglia Ruskin, which helped her gain personal voice, inspiration and motivation.

Recensioner i media

This book explores the differences amongst us all. It shows us how important it is to recognise what each and every one of us prefers in friendships, what kind of friends we are and that it's ok to enjoy doing certain things with some friends and not with others. The beautiful rhyming style adopted by this story will let you flow seamlessly through the book as you read it out loud to children. The story provides perfect discussion opportunities surrounding our own and our friends' preferences; reflecting on ways in which we are difference and accepting these differences as what makes us all unique. A few lovely and thought-provoking quotes from the story that stuck with me: 'Some friends say a flower helps a heart that has an ache. Some prefer an ice-cream or a homemade chocolate cake.' and 'Some friends will grow old with you. Some may come and go. Some will teach you things about yourself you didn't know.'
