A bit more about Billie

Billie can be many things. Sometimes she is brave. She can be beautiful, bold and busy. And sometimes she can even be a teensy bit bossy...but Billie is always the best friend ever! She's brave, brilliant and bold and she will become your best friend in no time. Billie is a tom-boy and her best friend is her next-door neighbour Jack. He is very good at building cubbies, but Billie is better than him on the monkey bars. Junior Primary-aged children will recognise their own lives reflected in Billie's 'real world' adventures of having a sleep-over, playing soccer, learning ballet and more.
