A friendship tested by closeness

Bear’s promise to stay by Squirrel’s side becomes complicated when his attempts to join in lead to a series of mishaps, including a damaged canoe and a broken favorite mug. Squirrel eventually asks for space, giving the story a child-sized way to explore how friendship involves both companionship and room to be apart. The picture-book premise is grounded in a familiar question: how can best friends enjoy one another while respecting each other’s needs?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 exploring friendship and personal space.
  • For families and educators looking for a picture book about navigating closeness between friends.

Book overview

From Smriti Prasadam-Halls, the internationally bestselling author of I Love You Night and Day, and illustrator Steve Small, comes the charming picture book I'm Sticking with You, a sweet celebration of friendship.

Bear and Squirrel are best friends. Wherever Squirrel goes, Bear follows. Bear vows to stick with Squirrel whether he's grumpy, or silly, or mad--which is put to the test when Bear sinks Squirrel's canoe. And catapults him from the seesaw. And breaks his favorite mug.

Finally, Squirrel has had enough. He tells Bear he needs his space--only to realize he has much more fun with his best friend around. Funny and poignant in equal measure, I'm Sticking with You shows that friendship always finds a way.
