Lucy, the exuberant tutued bear from Peter Brown's Children Make Terrible Pets, is determined to make a new friend, but can't seem to fit in with any of the other animals. Peter Brown reads and signs his newest book during the Dumbo Arts Festival. Original artwork will also be for sale and on display.

About You Will Be My Friend!

Today is the day the exuberant Lucy is going to make a new friend! But she finds it's harder than she had thought—she ruins the giraffe's breakfast, and is much too big for the frogs' pond. Just when she's about to give up, an unlikely friend finds her, and loves her just the way she is.

New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Peter Brown offers a unique and humor-filled spin on the all-important universal theme of friendship in You Will Be My Friend!, a companion to the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, Children Make Terrible Pets.
