A heartwarming story about coming to terms with a new baby sibling in the family, illustrated by world-renowned children's book artist Emily Sutton.

Little Lennie lives in the little village of Wobbly Bottom and loves to play hide and seek with his mum. But when Mum is busy taking care of his new baby sister, Ruby, and Ruby is much too little to join in with their games, Lennie wishes for someone to play with. One magical day in Acorn Hollows, his wish comes true!

A sweet and charming story from Anne Twist about friendship and imagination, perfectly captured by Emily Suttonโ€™s magnificent illustrations.

About the Author

Anne Twist began writing poems in 2017 after suffering the loss of her beloved husband. Writing helped her navigate through grief. Her garden in the countryside of Cheshire became her inspiration and brought her peace as her craft grew. Born in the south of England, Anne is mother to Gemma and Harry. Reading to them constantly, especially at bedtime when they were little, was a huge part of raising her children.

Emily Sutton is an artist and illustrator who has worked on numerous picture books, including The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy, as well as Tiny, Lots, Many and Grow by author Nicola Davies, and The Tale of the Castle Mice by Michael Bond. Emily finds endless inspiration for her paintings from spending time in nature accompanied by her dog muse, Mouse, and her nieces, Penny and Sadie. Visit her website www.emilysutton.co.
