'An absolute darling of a book. Its portrayal of children who find it hard to communicate, or have specific interests that are puzzling to others, is kind, sensitive and warming' Discover Children's Books

Meesha Makes Friends features Meesha, who loves making things but finds it difficult to make friends. She doesn't quite know what to do, what to say, or when to say it. But one day she discovers that she has a special talent that might just help her navigate social situations—and maybe even make new friends.

This is a warm and affectionate look at the joys and difficulties of making and keeping friends, relating to others, and finding your place in the world.

Empowering and emotionally resonant, Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series is the perfect springboard for conversations about mental and emotional health, building self-confidence, and managing feelings. Every child's bookshelf should contain his books.

About the Author

Tom Percival had an unconventional childhood in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire and these formative years are almost certainly what first got him interested in writing and drawing.

Tom is now a writer, artist, video producer and musician. He is the author of many bestselling picture books, including the six titles in his award-winning Big Bright Feelings for Bloomsbury (Perfectly Norman, Ruby's Worry, Ravi's Roar, Meesha Makes Friends, Tilda Tries Again and Milo’s Monster). He lives in Gloucestershire with his partner, their two children and a dog called Luna.
