This lovely new picture book by Tina Burke explores the delicate issue of the transition between imaginary friends and making real best friends.

‘When Ruby’s big brother left for his first day at school, a new friend appeared. His name was Milo.’

So begins Ruby’s fabulous adventure. She and Milo become the very best of friends. They are inseparable and have so much fun together. But then they go to school and meet Jacinta and Boris…

Ruby Makes A Friend is a reassuring story about friendship, play and imagination from Australian writer and illustrator Tina Burke, who is garnering worldwide accolades for her picture books.
