My Buddy and Me is a warm picture book about starting school, friendship and the confidence that grows when someone is there to help you find your way.

Luca and Jas are about to begin school and meet their Year 6 buddies. Everything feels new and overwhelming at first, but with kindness, encouragement and a helping hand, school soon becomes a place where they feel safe, welcome and ready to belong.

Through colourful illustrations and gentle storytelling, My Buddy and Me celebrates the buddy program many Australian schools use to help young children settle into school life.
