You WILL Like This Book!

Lucille Beatrice Bear is back in a new picture book called YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! And this time...it's personal.

Making friends is harder than Lucy expects. She accidentally ruins the giraffe's breakfast, the skunk does not want her help, and she's too big for the frog's pond. It looks hopeless. And then, when she least expects it, a funny thing happens...you'll never guess what

it is.

Peter Brown is touring the US of A with YWBMF, click HERE to check out his complete book tour schedule. You should totally stop by one of his events.
