Self-Esteem & Fitting In

With child-like smiling stick figures, bold, brilliant colour and upbeat text, picture-book creator Todd Parr tells us all about best friends. 'Best friends will let you jump on their bed no matter how big you are. Best friends will let you make dinner for them even if you serve spaghetti and worms.' The message is illustrated with Parr's usual spectacular, multicultural mix of blue, green, brown, yellow and purple faces.Parr's quirky artwork and eternally optimistic books are truly irresistible, for both grown-ups and kids.
