George likes living by the sea, but he often feels lonely. He'd like to have a friend - someone to talk to, someone to share stories with and someone to laugh with. As that's what friends do!

When he meets Claude the fish, George finally discovers the joys of having a special friend, as well as learning what it means to be a good friend to someone . . . for if you are, the rewards are bountiful!

'Gabriel Evans is fast becoming one of the most consistently delightful Australian picture book creators of recent years.' Books + Publishing
