A beautiful story of friendship and love. Our wonderful, diverse, colourful country is filled with many deserving stories. A beautifully integral one is the story of friendship and love between children and their nannies. This story is the second title in the series about a little boy, Sam, and his wonderful, creative and inspiring nanny, Nelly. Nelly shares ideas, local history, tradition and culture with Sam. She brings a bit of her world, words and heart into his. Sam in turn, does what all little boys do – he happily joins in the adventure.
