Bert and the Bubble

A story about sharing
Illustrated by Kim Hillyard

A funny, positive picture book about friendship, sharing and really brilliant bubbles from award-winning author and illustrator Kim Hillyard. One day, Bert the frog finds a beautiful, shiny bubble. It’s a very nice bubble – and all Bert’s friends think so too.

Soon everyone wants to have a turn with the precious bubble – but as Bert discovers, sharing can be tricky. Can the friends find a way to enjoy the fun… together? A positive, heart-warming story about learning to share and finding fun in the world around you.
