A LOVE STORY: An inviting narrative voice alongside bright and colourful illustrations give the book the feel of a modern classic.

Just to Be With You is a book about the lengths we go to in order to show our love for someone. To prove her love and make her way back to her family, the narrator goes on an expedition around the world, trekking through shark-infested waters and treacherous mountain winds, and doing the scariest thing of all — singing solo on a stage in a room packed with people! Along the way, she collects hearts and characters from each adventure who take her to the next big challenge. Written as a love letter to family and friends, Just to Be With You is a testament to all of the daring things we do for love.
