Tiny the Secret Adventurer
Illustrator: Kubra TeberTiny the Secret Adventurer is the first in a new series for younger readers venturing into chapter-based stories.
Tiny, as her names suggests is a very small creature who lives in a primary school garden, along with an assortment of other creatures. She loves her home in the tall sunflowers and enjoys listening to the children play and watching them read their books in the playgroud. However, the other animals don’t like Tiny, as to them, she looks like one of the humans, who are big, noisy, messy and prone to destroying their homes. Fear makes them decide that they need to get rid of Tiny, before she can cause any trouble for them, but when something happens to Frog’s home and he finds himself in real danger, she faces her own fears to come to Frog’s rescue and proves to the others that you don’t have to be big to be brave.
Award-winning author Aisha Bushby has written a gentle and heart-warming tale about finding courage in the face of bullies, encouraging the acceptance of differences and how if we can work together, then even the biggest obstacles can be overcome. The gorgeous and expressive black and white illustrations from Teber create a wonderful, warm garden world with easily recognisable characters. Perfect for the newly independent reader or as a bedtime read-aloud, Tiny is going to be a very popular addition to all libraries, home or school.
A sequel is due out in Spring 2024, with a further two titles to follow.
