August Highlights 2023!

14/8/2023

 

Lo Cole

Here comes Doris! Lo’s latest author-illustrated picture book, Doris, is published this month with new kids on the publishing block Rocket Bird Books. Being a bright red elephant, Doris is easy to spot. But Doris is also very shy and likes to hide. Can you see her? This is a delightful story about a character who wants to blend in but learns how to accept and love the things that make her stand out. Lo’s stylish and colourful artwork will brighten up any rainy Summer’s day and Doris is set to become a real pre-school star!

We’re delighted that two of our illustrators, Júlia and Camilla, are part of Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho’s Ten Word Tiny Tales (Walker Books) story anthology. Is it possible to spin a tale using just ten words? Well, with this compendium of inspiration, it most certainly is! The perfect gift for all those ready to unleash their imaginations. ​
