With a laugh-out-loud text from John Kelly and brilliantly quirky illustrations by Steph Laberis, Can I Join Your Club? is a heart-warming story which celebrates the importance of diversity and friendship. Perfect for little ones who are learning to make friends at a new school or nursery.

"Laugh-out-loud story that's perfect for children who are making new friends at school or nursery, with some magnificently noisy animals to join in with."

"A warm and clever picture book which puts the importance of sharing and inclusion centre stage."

"This book is fantastic for teaching children what it feels like to be left out and how including others can be the best solution to make everyone happy. It is a good resource for fostering empathy, children might put themselves in the shoes of the main character who isn't let into the other animals' clubs, and imagine how they would feel in that situation."

"This heart-warming story is a lovely celebration of the importance of diversity and friendship."

"This is a fun book to read, and its gentle but important message is definitely a good one to share!"
