Chitra Soundar
A warm set of everyday adventures about brothers whose activities include helping at home, spending time with friends, caring for family, and engaging with their local environment.
Lauren Child
A funny, offbeat family portrait told through Clarice’s sharp commentary. The visual design is part of the reading experience: fonts, collage and stray dialogue help convey voices, moods and relationships.
Raymond Briggs
Expect an imaginative, detail-rich portrait of an invented society rather than a tightly plotted adventure. The book invites readers to notice how ordinary routines, customs and values look when viewed from an unfamiliar culture.
