Stories like Addie’s matter because they remind us what it feels like to be new, to be unsure, and to be brave enough to try anyway. It’s easy to forget how big small moments can feel when you’re little — walking into a new classroom, saying hello for the first time, or wondering if anyone will sit next to you. Those moments shape us. They teach us empathy, patience, and courage in quiet ways. I wanted Addie Needs a Friend to help kids see that they’re not alone in those feelings. And maybe to remind parents what it felt like to be that kid too. At the heart of it, Addie’s story is about connection — the kind that starts with a simple smile or hello and can grow into something that changes your whole day. 💛 www.LittleLottBooks.com #AddieNeedsAFriend #Addieverse #LittleLottBooks #AndrewLottBooks #ChildrensBooks #KidsLit #ParentAuthor #StoriesWithHeart #PictureBooks #FamilyReading #EmpathyThroughStories #ReadTogether

Addie’s trip to school becomes a heart-warming adventure in this charming children’s book. With its adorable main character and gentle storytelling, the book beautifully captures the nerves-and the magic- of finding a new friend in a big, unfamiliar place. A sweet, reassuring read for any child facing new beginnings.

-Amanda Scott, Goodreads & Amazon

Such an adorable and sweet book! Has such an important lesson learning it’s okay to be scared but it just takes one little moment to meet a new friend, and that is exciting!

-Sarah Lott, Goodreads

Get to know: Little Lott Books & Addie *

At Little Lott Books, we create stories that grow with children, stories that spark curiosity, kindness, and connection while helping little readers learn about life’s everyday moments.

Founded by Andrew Lott, a dad, tax tech professional, and military veteran turned children’s book author, Little Lott Books began with one simple idea: that every “need” can lead to something beautiful.

The Addie Needs a... series started as a small idea shared during bedtime, inspired by real moments between Andrew and his daughter, Addie. What began as a single story about friendship has grown into an entire world, the Addieverse, where big feelings, little lessons, and sweet adventures come to life one page at a time.

Little Lott Books collaborates with illustrator Amanda Letcher, whose thoughtful art brings Addie’s world to life with warmth, charm, and imagination.

We’re just getting started and can’t wait to share more Addieverse adventures with you and your little ones soon.

Meet Addie, a curious six-year-old with a big heart and an even bigger imagination. She loves to explore, create, and learn about the world around her. Whether she is facing something new, finding courage, or making a friend, Addie approaches every moment with honesty, wonder, and warmth.

In Addie Needs a Friend, she begins her very first adventure in the Addieverse. Through Addie’s eyes, readers see that every challenge can become a chance to grow and that kindness and curiosity can lead to something truly beautiful.

Our main character reminds us all that little moments can carry big lessons, and that even the smallest needs can spark the most meaningful connections.
