A hilarious, minimalist story about patience and the ups and downs of waiting from author-illustrator, Alice Courtley.
Rabbit is waiting for Froggo, quietly and patiently. Mouse is also waiting for Froggo, but not so quietly or patiently... "What's a Froggo" Mouse asks. "When will they get here What do they look like" Rabbit urges Mouse to wait but as more animals show up to join them, things start to get more busy and chaotic. Just as Rabbit is about to lose his temper, Mouse asks the biggest question: what if Froggo doesn't comeInspired by Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Alice Courtley's Waiting for Froggo is a minimalist story of the ups and downs of waiting with brilliantly expressive characters and charming deadpan humour. Froggo is definitely worth waiting for!Alice creates playful images with a blend of people, animals and backgrounds inspired by real life. While studying on the Cambridge MA in Children's Book Illustration, she developed a passion for character, texture and experimenting with unusual formats. Her work has been recognised for prizes such as the Batsford Prize 2019 and featured in exhibitions such as the AOI's 'Inspired to Innovate' in London.
