Now in board book format, this beautiful, innovative picture book from an enormously talented creator will make you laugh out loud. The search for a true friend is something everyone can relate to - from the very young to the very old.

SHORT-LISTED: CBCA Book of the Year, Crichton Award for New Illustrators, 2018

I just ate my friend. He was a good friend. But now he is gone. Would you be my friend?

A hilarious story about the search for friendship and belonging... and maybe a little bit about the importance of impulse control... from an amazing new creator.

Industry Reviews

"""A humorous and gentle reminder about the give and take of friendship, this wonderfully quirky story is sure to end in a giggle."" Four and half stars, Sunday Telegraph, 13 August 2017

""I started laughing just looking at the cover of this book. ... This very funny story has quite a serious side to it. It's really about the value of friendship and a sneaky little warning that impulsive actions could result in disaster."" Four stars, Good Reading Magazine, August 2017

""I Just Ate My Friend is one of those fantastic picture books that invites the reader to be a part of story. ... Kids will beg I Just Ate My Friend to be read again and again. Heidi's text and illustrations are simple but they combine to tell a very funny story. ...If you love the dark humour of Jon Klassen's This is Not My Hat you'll love I Just Ate My Friend."" My Best Friends are Books Blog

""This hardback picture book is one which presents children with a gutsy, believable look
at life in the funniest and simplest way."" Blue Wolf Reviews Blog"
