Description

Today is the day the exuberant Lucy is going to make a new friend! But she finds it’s harder than she had thought–she accidentally ruins the giraffe’s breakfast and is much too big for the frogs’ pond. Just when she’s about to give up, an unexpected friend finds her, and loves her just the way she is.

This heartwarming story offers a unique and humor-filled spin on the all-important themes of persistence and friendship.

Peter Brown is the author and illustrator of many bestselling children’s books, including Children Make Terrible Pets and The Curious Garden. He is the recipient of a Caldecott Honor for Creepy Carrots!, two E.B. White Read Aloud Awards, a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book award, and a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year. Peter’s website is www.peterbrownstudio.com.”Finding a friend is less a matter of sheer will than quiet acceptance in this charming new work…Handlettered speech balloons and wood borders give the book a rustic but friendly feel, with endpapers that should not be missed.”—Kirkus Reviews“I click with this book. Brown has pushed his style past its smoother beginnings…into a homemade hybrid of pencil and construction paper and even wood. Who knows how he does it, really? The appeal of YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! is as deep a mystery as friendship, but I’m not interested in delving into its mysteries. I just want to take it to lunch.”—Daniel Handler in The New York Times
