From Anne Twist and Emily Sutton, the author and illustrator of Betty and the Mysterious Visitor, comes a heartwarming story celebrating family, friendship, and the joy of a new sibling.

Lennie loves his new baby sister, Ruby. He wants to play with her, but Mum says Ruby is still too small. And Mum is always taking care of Ruby, so she can't play either. Lennie wishes for a friend--someone to play hide-and-seek with, hide in giant piles of leaves with, and climb the trees with--or just someone who isn't so very little or so very busy. One day, under his favorite oak tree, his wish might just come true. This charming story will be a comfort and a joy to any child adjusting to a new sibling.

About the Author
Anne Twist is the author of Betty and the Mysterious Visitor, illustrated by Emily Sutton. Her writing is inspired by her own family's love of reading and sharing stories. When her kids were little, she read aloud to them constantly, especially at bedtime. After the death of her husband in 2017, Anne Twist turned to writing poetry as a way of navigating her feelings of grief and loss. Her garden in the countryside of Cheshire, England, brought her peace as her craft grew and also was the place where this story first bloomed. She hopes this book becomes a favorite at bedtime for all of her readers. Visit her on Instagram @AnneTwist and on X @MrsAnneTwist.

Emily Sutton is an author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy as well as Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes, Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth, and Grow: Secrets of Our DNA, all by Nicola Davies. She draws endless inspiration for her paintings from spending time in nature accompanied by her dog muse Mouse and her nieces Penny and Sadie. Emily Sutton lives in York, England.
