A story about imagining the very best kind of friend you could have. Two little friends discuss the someones they want to find when they grow up. Perhaps they've met them already. Me Too is a picture book about best friends, written by best friends, who wanted to write a story about "discovering what you want by realising what you have." It's about friendship, love, and loving your friends.

The line drawings suit the story line, its unfussy appearance focussing attention on the words and the behaviour of the two, adding a frugally small amount of colour. * Read Plus blog *

This is a picture book for all ages. While most people consider picture books the domain of younger readers, this would make a gorgeous gift for adults to give a dear friend. This book celebrates the most important thing anyone can have, friendship. * Reading Time blog *
It is the sort of book that makes you say aww! when you finish it. * Bobs Books blog *
