Overview

A little girl helps her neighbourhood connect with each other in this touching story about friendship, inclusion and sharing.

Do you ever feel like you can see the whole world, but no one can see you? Hidden amongst the leaves of a fig tree, a young girl watches as the people in her street busily go about their day, disappearing into their homes or cars without looking up. She tries to get the neighbours’ attention as she moves through the branches, but no one notices. As the girl watches her neighbours, she wonders how she can get them to see her – and everyone else around them. A plan begins to form, involving generosity, kindness, and a lot of figs …

Hidden is a heart-warming story which shows how one child’s idea has the power to build relationships and bring a whole community together. In a time when many people feel disconnected and isolated, this story is an important reminder that everyone – young and old – deserves to be seen, included and feel a sense of belonging in their community.

Full of hope and heart, Hidden is the perfect way to introduce little readers to the importance of sharing and treating everyone with kindness.
