The boys had been friends for as long as they could remember, and even before that, they had formed a bond that was unbreakable. They were more than just friends; they were like brothers.

Follow the adventures of Tam, Rey, Nattie, and Bobby, four boys who share a friendship that will last a lifetime. From playing on the beach as babies to navigating the journey from childhood to adulthood, this beautifully illustrated picture book explores the importance of male friendships.

Emotive storytelling by Lauren Ace gently presents themes of individuality, grief, togetherness, and feelings, while Jennie Lovlie's stylish artwork delicately presents the difficulties and triumphs of growing up. This is the perfect book for young readers who are facing big changes, and it opens up discussions about school life and the future.

From the creators of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner, The Girls.

Gentle, tender, and joyful, this nostalgic story with a refreshingly modern feel will touch the hearts of readers of all ages. The book is at pains to show non-stereotypical images of boys and men, and it manages to be not only insightful but affecting.

With echoes of Helen Oxenbury's illustration style, Lovlie's characters glow, while her detailed, textured depictions of the seashore feel really alive.

Utterly charming, luminously illustrated, and filled with warmth and humor, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves a good story about friendship.
