From the award-winning creator of Flooded, Lost and I Hate Love Books comes a humorous and heartfelt tale about how to grow a friend - the perfect purchase for young children as they navigate their first friendships.

Mr Rabbit lives alone. He enjoys reading, cups of tea and gardening. He doesn't mind his quiet life, but sometimes it gets a bit too quiet, which leaves him feeling lonely . . .

Luckily, spring has arrived, which means Mr Rabbit can plant his favourite vegetable: Carrots! 240 seeds later, he's ready for a sit down and a hot drink--until he spots a forgotten seed in the bag. '"Where have you been hiding?!" He carefully plants it, vowing to give this tiny seed a little extra care, so it doesn't feel forgotten again.

With love, water, singing, and sunshine, the carrots start to grow . . . until, one day, Mr Rabbit spots a wiggling carrot top. He pulls and pulls--and out pops a walking, talking carrot. "Oh, Carrots!"

It soon emerges that all Carrot wants is to be Mr Rabbit's friend, but all Mr Rabbit wants is for Carrot to leave him in peace. From jumping on the sofa to rummaging through books, Carrot's mischievous antics leave Mr Rabbit feeling rather irritated. Yet, as the day progresses, he starts to enjoy himself a little more. He's been so used to being alone, he's never thought about having someone around--perhaps he could do with a friend.

This strikingly illustrated, engaging picture book celebrates the magic of making new friends--and shows children how the best friends help us learn more about ourselves.
