Friends: Snake and Lizard

$19.99  Paperback

I think it’s a genius book – the writer and illustrator are at the top of their game.
Kate de Goldi, Radio NZ
Synopsis
Two very different creatures learn about the give-and-take of  friendship in this warm and funny story set in the desert.

Snake is elegant and calm, and a little self-centred; Lizard is exuberant and irrepressible.


With its wisdom, acceptance and good humour, Friends: Snake and Lizard captures the essence of friendship.

The stories are beautifully illustrated by Gavin Bishop in warm and clear colours of the desert.
