Smriti Halls and Steve Small's I'm Sticking with You is a warm, funny, rhyming picture-book series about Bear and Squirrel — the very best of friends. Across three internationally bestselling stories, the pair learn about devotion and giving each other space, about making room for a noisy new friend called Chicken, and about how a good friend helps you through your worries and wobbles. Halls's bouncy read-aloud rhyme and Small's expressive, gently funny artwork make each book a joyful cuddle-up read and a gentle way to talk about closeness, inclusion and confidence. It's a lovely first series about whole-hearted friendship for 2–6s.
