![]() “Will you be my friend? Do you want to play?” Tipps asks. ![]() When he arrives at Cloudy Mountain he gets an enormous surprise: a snow hare is looking at him! He would dearly love someone real to play with rather than his own reflection or his shadow. In Will You Be My Friend? Little Nutbrown Hare is allowed to venture on his own and he makes a few discoveries and observations as he hops along. Now Sam McBratney has once again teamed up with illustrator Anita Jeram to create a beautiful story about friendship. The author Sam McBratney has said the book was just “a light-hearted little story designed to help a big one and a wee one enjoy the pleasure of being together”. The phrase from the book “love you to the moon and back” became a popular bedtime saying and there surely cannot be a library in Australia without a copy of this book on high rotation. Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare perfectly captured the bond between children and their carers, whether parent, grandparent, teacher or another special person. ![]() It inspired plays, toys, games and an animated TV show. Guess How Much I Love You was released 25 years ago, became a world-wide classic, has sold over 50 million copies and been translated into 57 languages. ![]()
