Product Description

Big Nutbrown Hare is busy, so Little Nutbrown Hare sets off alone to explore the world around him. Along the way, he finds his reflection, races his shadow, and climbs to Cloudy Mountain. There, he meets someone truly special — a snow-white hare named Tipps. And this time, it’s not just a reflection or shadow... it’s a real friend.

With gentle storytelling by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram’s timeless watercolour illustrations, Will You Be My Friend? is a heartwarming addition to any child's bookshelf. It beautifully explores the themes of independence, play, and friendship with the same emotional resonance as the original.
