Gillian Shields

illustrated by Anna Currey

When the world
is full of friends,
the fun and laughter
never ends.

Albert, Tom, Flossie, and Pipkin love to play. And while they have fun inventing games together, their biggest wish is to have friends to share them with. One day, something magical happens. A family of squirrels moves in across the stream! They could be the perfect friends - but how will they cross the stream?

With a little help from Father Rabbit, Albert, Tom, Flossie, and Pipkin will discover just how wonderful it is when the world is full of friends. This touching story from the revered team behind When the World Is Ready for Bed and When the World Was Waiting for You will warm the hearts of readers young and old.

Gillian Shields is a long-term contributor to the Bloomsbury list and is the author of the extremely successful Mermaid SOS series. Gillian lives in Burwash Common, East Sussex. Anna Currey's warm, classic watercolour style has brought to life many enchanting picture books published by Macmillan and Walker Books. This is her second book for Bloomsbury. Anna lives near Bath.
