Plush Friends is a playful and heartfelt reflection of the suburban bear hunt in Melbourne during the COVID-19 pandemic isolation period. The author has selected a handful of 'plush friends' from her local neighbourhoods and reached out to their 'owners' to gain an insight into how we have embraced our 'softer side' during adversity. This cute compilation will not only make you smile as you flick through the pages of plush toys, their candid faces staring back at you, but will remind you what is truly important in life and that a sense of community and lightness during difficult times can have a magnificent impact.
