Me and You

I wish I were just like you. I wish I were just like you.

Two very different friends explore what it would be like to be each other,

and discover that they are both works of art just the way they are.

Pig and Bunny are two friends. One day they are painting when they decide they wished they were just like each other. Paint brushes in hand, and with the help of a few household items they try to change colours, tails, ears and personalities.

They soon realise "I like it better when you are you! And I like it better when you are you! I am me and you are you. That's why we love each other, me and you!".

This book is beautifully written in a lovely childlike first person dialogue. Combined with the joyful illustrations, Me and You, is the perfect book to introduce children to the realisation that it is good to be yourself and that the differences in others is what can make friendships so special.
