ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- "When you are small you notice things that grown-ups are too busy to see". So starts this picturebook-with-heart about a little boy who connects with a homeless man he sees in his street. He stops to talk to the man, and then starts to tell the adults around, who in their own small ways help give dignity to Pete and look out for him. Simple pencil drawings that complement the potent but unforced message about treating even the lowliest person with compassion and how that is a change for the good. Ages 4-7 Lindy Jones

When you are small you can see things that grown-ups are too busy to notice . . .

Everyone walks right past Pete - except for one little boy. He notices Pete's drawings, and big smile, and soon he has a new friend. When Pete gets sick, the boy wants to help. But how do you help someone get better when they don't have a home?

A heartfelt, moving story about the importance of really seeing the world around us and the power in tiny acts of kindness.

Maggie writes stories with heart and soul for children and adults that encourage kindness, hope and resilience. Evie Barrow is an Australian artist and illustrator, living in Melbourne, Australia. In 2019 her first illustrated picture book was published, Horatio Squeak, written by Karen Foxlee.
