LoveReading4Kids Says
This touching tale involving two rabbits contains a very positive message on the subject of friendship. ‘Let’s be friends forever’ they agree and why not? They sing songs, giggle and run around, always together. The text is complimented with bouncy and fun pictures created by the marvellous Petra Brown. This book is by the same author and illustrator of the bestseller,
If Big Can... I Can. LoveReading4Kids

About Beth Shoshan and Petra Brown
Beth Shoshan was born in Brighton. She never seemed destined to
be 
a children's writer, after all she 
had failed English Composition.

But everything changed when she
 was challenged by Meadowside 
to write
the most inappropriate
 children's book imaginable - it
 should contain
sweets, explosions 
and arcane English words. She 
did, and Smidge
became an instant 
best-seller. Now with over 30 titles 
to her name,
Beth has become one
 of the most successful children's
 authors of the
past few years.
Illustrator Petra Brown (pictured) was born in Luton in 1965 and moved to Snowdonia, Wales in 1975.
She did a one-year art foundation course at Bangor and then spent the whole of 1985 designing, making and selling furry glove and finger puppets. From 1987 onwards she worked part-time as a shop assistant for a period of fifteen years, whilst designing cards for various Greetings Card Manufacturers.
She spent twenty years approaching book publishers with portfolios of work until she was accepted by Meadowside in 2005 to illustrate 'If Big Can...I can', which was shortlisted for The Book Trust Early Years Awards for Best Emerging Illustrator. Petra went on to illustrate many beautiful picture books including ‘Marguerite’s Fountain’ and ‘If You Can…We can!’, the sequel to ‘If Big Can, I Can’. Petra works in colour pencil, watercolour and gouache. Whilst Petra claims that illustrating for children is far harder work than she’d ever imagined, she also says that it is immensely satisfying and such fun!
