My Best Friend Tilly

About this book

A little girl is excited for her best friend Tilly to come over to play. She begins to build an extravagant make-believe world for her and Tilly to explore.  

Maybe they’ll play with fire-breathing dragons, ride rollercoasters, build a fairytale castle, or even open an ice cream shop. The ideas just keep flowing and flowing! 

On every page, the dream world keeps expanding, and poor Tilly gets pushed further and further out of the picture. Soon, Tilly’s imaginary world has no space left for Tilly! 

Absolutely bursting with imagination, My Best Friend Tilly  is such a joy to read. The playful tale takes you on a fantastical adventure where anything is possible. Children will love getting the chance to explore this creative world while also learning the importance of friendship, consideration and sharing space with others. 

Iris Samartzi’s illustrations are whimsical, combining real-life objects with sketch-like doodles, and would be a great inspiration for arts and crafts activities at home, especially junk modelling.
