Description

I Saw Pete and Pete Saw Me by Maggie Hutchings – Illustrated by Evie Barrow (2022)

When you are small you can see things that grown-ups are too busy to notice . . .

Everyone walks right past Pete, except for one little boy.  He sees Pete’s big smile and bright drawings, and they make a connection.  The boy can’t give Pete a home, but when Pete gets sick, he can show he cares.

A heartfelt, moving story about the importance of really seeing the world around us and the power in tiny acts of kindness.

I Saw Pete and Pete Saw Me is a moving story told from a child’s perspective, about the complex issue of homelessness.  While adults are often too busy to notice the people they walk past, children have the capacity to care, and to remind us of what is important.

It’s beautifully illustrated by Evie Barrow, and sensitively written, and will hopefully open up conversations with young people, and with older ones too!  There’s no easy solution, but this book provides hope and encourages empathy and kindness, and is a beautiful reminder of the capacity of children to understand more than they’re given credit for.
