Annabelle Bernadette Clementine Dodd Was a good little girl, though decidedly odd. Belle lived every day as if she were grown --She thought she could do everything all on her own.

Lucky for Belle, she has a friend at home, a caregiver named Beatrice Smith -- Bea -- who keeps a close eye on her so she doesn't get into too much mischief. Through the week Belle helps Bea as she does chores or shops or bakes, and at the end of most days they head to the beach -- Belle and Bea, hand in hand, by the sea. But one afternoon Belle sneaks outside to play all alone, and something happens that changes her life forever.

A lyrical rhymed text and pictures that pack emotion combine to present powerful portraits of a girl and her loving guardian.

《朋友》讲述的小女孩贝尔和女管家兼保姆比雅之间发生的感人至深的故事。比雅悉心地看护着贝尔，从不让她离开自己的视线。从星期一到星期日，比雅和贝尔一起忙忙碌碌——做家务、买东西、烤糕点，一天的工作结束之后，她们俩总会手牵手到海滩去玩耍——画沙画、捡贝壳、搭城堡。可是有一天，贝尔一个人偷偷溜出门到海滩玩耍，由此发生了一件让她永生难忘的事。
