Description

Next, I brushed my hare and put on my new pear of shoes. Mum painted her nails before we set out for the day. Join Banjo and his mum on what starts as a straightforward day out, only to have it upended by homophones (two words with the same pronunciation but with different meanings), turning the narrative into the delightfully absurd. Kids and adults alike will love this joyful new wordplay extravaganza from debut author Mel Amon with illustrations by international superstar Sophie Beer. The hilarious wordplay combined with delightful illustrations have kids 'in on the joke' from the very beginning. Praise for illustrator Sophie Beer's Change Starts with Us- 'Illuminated by a bright, bold colour scheme, carefully crafted scenes reveal sensible good habits, like conserving water and reducing waste, that can help save the planet. Beer, creator of Love Makes a Family, depicts diverse illustrated young characters ... All children will see themselves in these pages, and feel a bit more empowered to make better choices.' -School Library Journal Praise for illustrator Sophie Beer's Arthur and the Tiger- 'Visually exciting with bold colours, vistas filled with light and shade, strong linear definitions and bright patterns, Arthur and the Tiger explores overcoming fears and prejudices, developing courage and creatively meeting challenges ... Sophie Beer's artworks and text create an energetic and visually appealing story.' -Readplus

Author Bio

Melanie Amon (Author) Mel lives on Garigal land with her husband, her long-board, and a 3-metre avocado tree she planted by accident when composting her vegetables. Although she initially trained as a primary school teacher, she threw in the chalk to become a Clinical Psychologist (and topped her cohort in the process!). Mel now spends her days helping people of all ages with their big feelings, and drinking a lot (but really, just the right amount) of tea. Sophie Beer (Illustrator) Sophie Beer is an illustrator from Brisbane, Queensland. She completed dual bachelors in Law and Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology before turning freelance. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule- art should never be boring. When she's not illustrating, she's usually found drinking dangerous amounts of tea and indulging in her other passion- literature.
