A touch-and-feel book

Illustrated by Lucy Barnard
Look inside
Toddlers can join Llama on her search for a friend as they explore the touch-and-feel textures in this adorable rhyme!

Llama is lonely and wants to find a friend—but it’s proving to be very difficult to do so! She gets along well with Armadillo, but her new friend would prefer to stay in her shell. Spectacled Bear seems like a good friend to have, but he's very shy. And Flamingo likes to talk, but she doesn’t stay around long and soon flies away. Who will be Llama's new friend? Simple rhyming text, bold and colorful artwork, and touch-and-feel textures on each spread make this the perfect book for toddlers.

  • The perfect touch-and-feel book for toddlers ages 2 to 5
  • Adorable illustrations and sweet story to share
  • Ideal for young animal lovers
Rosie Adams lives in Lancashire, England, with three dogs and a goldfish named Bert. She loves to write stories about animals and nature. In her spare time, she likes painting, traveling, and taking long walks in the countryside. 

Lucy Barnard is from Cheltenham but now lives in Manchester with her husband and two children. After completing her art foundation course in Cheltenham and her illustration degree in Exeter, she worked at various publishing companies in London before becoming a freelance illustrator. She worked for many years with acrylic paint and pencils but has adapted her illustration style and now works digitally. As well as illustrating for others, she also writes and illustrates her own stories, quite often inspired by her children!
