Short stories (Children's&YA)

A charming collection of stories from celebrated storyteller Atinuke and with tender illustrations from Emily Hughes.

Beti lives in a little round house in the woods with Mam, Tad, Baby Jac, her cheeky goat Naughty and many other farm animals. Written in Atinuke’s rhythmic, heartfelt style and brought to life by Emily Hughes’ lush, warm illustrations, this exquisite collection of four stories centred around a strong-willed little girl is a celebration of having adventures with our friends in the lush wild with each changing season. Every page is rich in humour and filled with touching observations of the family’s wild and enchanting way of life. It is escapism at its finest and will inspire readers to reconnect with nature, to find happiness on their doorstep among the love of friends and family.
