Product Description
 
Meet Bridget — it’s her birthday, and she’s hoping for a lovely day with friends. But one by one, her pals apologise: “I’m very busy” is the refrain. Royal has people to see and places to be, Rodney must see a man about a dog, Regis has to wash his hair, and Pearl has a list of things to write and then cross off. Will Bridget spend her birthday alone? In I’m Very Busy, Oliver Jeffers serves up a witty, gentle story about how we let busyness get in the way — and how friends can come together to show they care. 
 
The book uses Jeffers’ signature bold illustrations set on bright white backgrounds, each page capturing subtle humour, vibrant characters and little details that spark giggles (Rodney walking an invisible dog!) 
 
This 32-page hardcover is designed for children aged 3 to 7 — ideal for read-alouds, bedtime rituals, library corners and gift libraries.
