When Billy is feeling sad, he wishes he had someone to talk to. He thinks what he needs is someone to listen . . . but his best friend, Hippo, believes he knows exactly what Billy needs!
Playing dress-ups will cheer Billy up, and dancing in the cherry blossoms, or maybe a pirate adventure?
No? Then how about a magic carpet race?
What fun!
Ready, set, GO!
Hippo just wants to make Billy happy, but it's only when he finally listens to what Billy wants that he can help his friend.
'A story that will resonate with many - some because they are Billy, some because they are Hippo, and some because there are lessons to be learned . . . A story for those who have a voice and want to speak, and those who need to learn to listen.' Barbara Braxton, readplus.com.au
'A thoughtful tale on the importance of being heard to help youngsters share their feelings.' Geelong Advertiser
'A timely story for our fast-paced world, that might encourage us to just stop and listen. 5 stars.' Sue Mauger, GlamAdelaide
