I just ate my friend. He was a good friend. But now he is gone. Would you be my friend?
A hilarious story about the search for friendship and belonging… and maybe a little bit about the importance of impulse control…
The search for a true friend is something everyone can relate to – from the very young to the very old.

‘Funny and fun, this is a book that will have you and the kids sharing a laugh. But there are also some masterfully camouflaged messages in this story about relationships and the challenges of the ever-changing rules of schoolyard friendship.’

‘Perfect for children aged two and up, I Just Ate My Friend can be used to discuss friendships and why we shouldn’t mistreat our friends for fear of losing them. Or, it could simply be read as a hilarious monster story with a touch of the (child-appropriate) macabre.’
