A joyful picture book about friendship and togetherness,
from international bestselling illustrator, Axel Scheffler
Would you like to come inside this book? You're very welcome.
In fact, everyone is welcome here, whether you're big or small, flappy
or jumpy, noisy or quiet.
With its simple text and endearing animal characters, Welcome
shows how everyone can be a good friend, and how we can
all help others to feel welcome.
Axel Scheffler's fabulous, funny animals are
the perfect ambassadors to show us all about friendship and togetherness:
how to laugh together, play together - and, most importantly,
how to make friends again after a quarrel!
Axel is much-loved for his characters such as the Gruffalo,
Stick Man and Zog
A donation from every copy of Welcome sold
goes to Three Peas, a charity which supports refugees who
have had to flee their homes.
Welcome follows Axel's picture book
Kind which has enjoyed huge critical and international
success.
Kind has been translated into 22 languages
