Trilly is an only child who hasn’t quite figured out how to make and keep friends. For some reason, they always seem to disappear from her life. Well, everyone except Hopscotch. He’s the newbie at school who randomly walks up to her, and eventually takes her on the most exciting adventure of her life. Hopscotch becomes her first best friend. Together, they show the importance of kindness. Let’s go on an adventure with the two friends!
The idea for this book came to me in a dream in 2018 — two little frogs meeting randomly on the playground at school, and leaping into the unknown together. Literally. When I woke up, I couldn’t stop thinking about them and knew I was given something that I needed to share with the world. And so, I wrote "Trilly Meets Hopscotch: Her First Best Friend", as a two-in-one story and colouring book. Their friendship is new and real, and their adventures are full of the kinds of moments I believe matter most: kindness, courage, and the joy of imagination.
I wrote this story because I wanted to celebrate those values to remind children (and maybe grown-ups too) that being brave means doing something even when scared, that kindness makes the world better, that treating people with love and care is important, and that the best adventures are the ones we take together. Through these frog friends, I hope readers see the magic in everyday moments and the joy that comes from honouring and appreciating true friendship.
Curious, big-hearted kids aged 6 and up, and for the grown-ups who guide them.
Whether you’re a parent looking for a meaningful bedtime story, a teacher sparking classroom conversations about friendship and bravery, or a caregiver nurturing a child’s love for imagination, this story was written with you in mind.

More than just a fun story, this book is a gentle celebration of the values we all hope to pass on: kindness, bravery, empathy, and imagination. Plus, your kids get to have fun colouring the illustrations and characters!
