A Place Beside Pip
by Dorcas Gwani
A place in the circle can mean everything. In this tender illustrated storybook for ages 5–8, Pip is always ready with a bun, a helping paw, or a kind word. But when his friends make plans without saving him a place, Pip begins to wonder whether giving more is the only way to belong.
With a small kite and a brave new voice, Pip learns to say what he needs. His friends have a chance to listen, apologize, and show their care through thoughtful actions. Their story offers a gentle starting point for conversations about friendship, boundaries, inclusion, and the courage to speak up.
Young readers can follow Pip and his friends through hurt feelings, kite-making, and shared play, while grown-ups will appreciate a warm story about making room for everyone. The book includes 6 illustrations and a page introducing the characters, making it an inviting choice for read-aloud time or early independent reading.
