Giant Hiccups
Illustrated by Pamela Venus
(Tamarind Books)
978-1870516273, RRP £4.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
A modern day 'fairy tale' featuring a gentle, female Afro-Caribbean giant, a potter by trade, who shakes up the whole town when she gets an attack of hiccups. Various remedies are tried but Kara Louise's suggestion does the trick. Pamela Venus's illustrations of Ayesha and the inhabitants of the town are sympathetic and animated, as well as challenging stereotypes.
